How to Organize Ball Caps

Ahh, you have to love summer…popsicles, sprinklers, and baseball.  Summertime just wouldn’t be the same without a trip to the ballpark. I know for my family and many others with school-aged kids, we spend countless hours each summer at ballparks watching our children play Little League.  With each new team comes another new ball cap.  Most people have numerous ball caps floating around their house, but they can never seem to find one when they need one.  How can you keep your ball caps organized?

1. Sort – First, gather them all together in one place and sort through them.  Get rid of the ones that you don’t like or won’t use.



2. Organize – My favorite way to organize ball caps is to use an over the door cap rack.  It keeps caps off the floor and easy to find.  My favorite feature of this organizer is that it uses space that otherwise would go unused.
3. Maintain – To keep your baseball hats in tip top shape, wash them frequently.  The best method for keeping them clean and maintaining their shape is to purchase a cap washer.  They are very inexpensive and help to hold the cap’s shape during washing.  Put your cap in the cap washer, and place the cap washer in the top rack of your dishwasher.  Run it through a normal cycle and you will be amazed at find it looking just like new.
