Extry, Extry: Put Your Hat in the Dishwasher
As I am wont to do, I was recently reading Woman’s Day and ran across this championship bit of information, which was under the ever-evolving rubric of “Things You Can Put in the Dishwasher”:
4. Baseball Hats and Visors
“The dishwasher is a fantastic way to make sure hats keep their shapes,” says Linda Cobb, a cleaning expert who is also known as the Queen of Clean. Put hats on the top rack, head opening down, on a separate wash cycle from dishes because you can’t use dishwasher detergent (many contain bleaching agents). Instead, fill the detergent cup with borax, found in the supermarket laundry aisle. Run a regular cycle without the heated dry option, then place hat over a glass or jar to dry. Reshape brim while damp.
Slipping in (tee hee) a transparent double entendre like “reshape brim while damp”? That’s sooo Woman’s Day.
This has been a post about putting your hat in the dishwasher. This is the offseason.

Yes, and as an equally avid reader of Woman’s Day I am quite certain that in her very next entry young Ms. SanSone used “action figures” as a euphemistic surrogate for a certain other variety of plastic toys that can “get funky pretty fast”.
