Now to get to it...
Washing your headgear:
First things first, you want to prepare a cleaning solution.
Fill a small bowl with water and mix in laundry detergent.
You can also add a bit of white vinegar, which will help to eliminate odor.
Dampen a clean cloth with the detergent mixture and use it to wipe the outside of headgear.
Pay extra attention to the forehead area as sweat tends to accumulate there.
Allow the headgear to dry completely before wearing it again.
As simple as that...
