4 Standard Ways To Clean Your Baseball Cap

After using your baseball cap for years, you can wash/clean it thoroughly without having to trash it. I have done some digging and discovered a far better, and gentler, methodology for cleaning the old ball cap that will refresh it, brighten it, and add years to its life. And best of all, it’s largely hands-off.

Below Are Few Baseball Cap Washing Tips:

Spot-Clean the Baseball Cap As Needed

If there are areas that are especially problematic, spot-clean them with a dab of cleaning product right on the hat. After first dipping the hat in the water of your bucket or sink, use a toothbrush or other small scrubber to rub the cleaner into the fabric. I saw a tip to use shampoo on sweat stains; I tried it on one of my caps and the results were pretty spectacular. The bill was clean of sweat stains, while the back where the shampoo is not used remained pretty gross after cleaning.

Let The Baseball Cap Soak For Up To A Couple Hours

After you’ve spot-washed, let the hat soak in the soapy water-filled bucket or sink you’ve filled for up to a couple hours, though I found that even just 20-30 minutes will get the job done. About halfway through soaking, take a look at the cap and see how the stains are looking. Although the wetted fabric will hide some staining, they’ll still show through if they’re bad. Using your small scrubber, again spot wash those persistent problem areas, and again, be careful around stitched pattern and Lagos.

Pat Down With A Towel To Get rid Of Excess Moisture

The Baseball cap will obviously be very wet when you remove it from the water, let some of the excess drip off, then pat dry with a towel as much as you can while retaining the shape of the hat, and being gentle with Lagos. Your goal here is simply to remove the excess so that it can dry on a counter without dripping water all over.

Always Air Dry on Some Sort of Container

You want to find a way to dry the hat so it’s not just crumpled on the counter. Find a coffee jar, a canister, a balled-up-towel, or perhaps any mannequin heads you have lying around to set it on. This will ensure the hat’s shape stay true and doesn’t crinkle up. Throw a towel under the container too; no matter how much patting you do. I’ve found there will always be some drippage. If you want to speed thing up, use a small fan to blow air over it, or a hair dryer on the low setting.

It is also vital to consider how the wig will look on you, if the colour is close to your natural colour or something new and adventurous. Also make sure that you can adjust the wig’s size if you need to do so. Wig care will depend on what type of wig you have. If you take proper care of your hairpiece, it should last for some time. Most people who wear wigs like to have more than one. This lets you change hairstyles and allows time for complete cleaning and drying. You should properly wash a wig after it has been worn 8-12 times. Synthetic styles should be washed at least once a month, but ideally more often if you wear the wig every day.

When Contouring, Define Your Jawline

Define your jawline and slim down your neck by brushing the darker powder along the length of your jaw and around your chin. Just be sure to blend downwards using swift motions to create that flawless shadow.

As we know, the heart needs a lot of TLC, so do the feet too. After all, the Feet are the workhorses of your body, taking about 5,000 steps a day. That’s 2.5 miles! Not to mention that your feet have to bear the weight of your body every step of the way. In addition, we cram the feet into shoes and stand on them for long period of time. Those hardworking feet deserve a little more attention that you’re probably giving them. Here’s what you need to know. Just as you wouldn’t go a day without brushing your teeth, you shouldn’t go a day without taking care of your feet.

Below Are Few Healthy Tips For Te Feet:

When The Feet Has Corns And Calluses

Mild corns and calluses don’t usually need treatment and will go away on their own. But there are some things you can do to help them go away more quickly.

Wear thick socks to protect your skin.

Rub your callus with a pumice stone while you’re in the bath or shower

Use corn pads to relieve pressure

Apply salicylic acid to help dissolve corns and calluses. Be sure to follow directions carefully so you don’t damage healthy skin. Never use acid treatment on your feet if you have diabetes.

Wear Prescription foot orthotics

Sweaty Feet

Wash the feet with antibacterial soap. Make sure to clean between your toes.

Dry your feet, and sprinkle them with cornstarch, foot powder, or antifungal powder.

Wear Moisture-wicking socks

Change socks frequently throughout the day.

However, if you can’t control it, see a doctor. Treatment options include prescription roll-on antiperspirant, Botox injections,iontophoresis and surgery. There is a new topical called Qbrexa that can be used to block the ability to sweat locally.

Warts On The Feet

These small growths of hardened skin are caused by a virus. They can be painful, especially when by a virus. They can be painful, especially when they develop on the bottom of your feet. Those are called plantar warts. For treatment, don’t try to treat warts yourself. Your doctor may remove the wart with a laser or by minor surgery, or use liquid nitrogen or a prescription topical.

Our toenails are often neglected. No matter what the season is, it is always important to keep your feet and toenails in tip-top condition. Learn how to care for your feet and toenails by having good hygiene, pampering them to heal soreness and calluses and getting medical attention when necessary.

Below Are 4 Ways To Care For Your Toenails

Massage a Moisturizing Lotion On Your Toenails Everyday

Put lotion or foot cream on as a part of your routine. One way to achieve soft, moisturize feet is to rub on some lotion or petroleum jelly before bed, and slip on some socks. When you wake up in the morning,you’ll find that your feet are very soft and are free from dryness! Just remember to never let the area between toes become over-moisturized, as this will cause fungus attack.

Wear The Right Footwear For The Occasion

Your feet will stay healthy if you wear proper footwear designed to keep your feet clean, dry and at a comfortable temperature. You dress the rest of your body to stay comfortable in different weather conditions, and you should do the same for your feet.

Keep your toenails cool in the summer with sandals and footwear that breathes. If you wear shoes that make your feet hot in the summer, you could end up with odor or a fungal infection.

Keep them warm in the winter with waterproof boots and socks. If you wear shoes that don’t keep your feet warm enough, you’re more prone to getting frostbite.

Get Rid Of Odors In-Between Your Toenails

Dealing with odor is a problem many people face, since feet produce more sweat than the rest of the body and tend to harbor bacteria that creates a smell. If your foot odor has gotten out of hand, there are measures you can take to make them smell better right away.

Try changing your socks more often. If your feet tend to sweat a lot throughout the day, bringing an extra pair of socks with you could really help to decrease the odor that builds up. Change your socks when they get damp with sweat .

Try foot powder. There are many products designed to keep feet dry and odor-free. Try sprinkling foot powder or talcum powder in your shoes before you put them on.

Trim Your Toenails Properly

Every few weeks, trim your toenails to keep them healthy and strong. Trimming them the wrong way results in ingrown toenails, which can be quite painful. Trim them straight across, rather than trimming the edges into a curve. You should also avoid trimming them too short, since this could result in ingrown toenails or an infection

Like we know, our feet are the workhorses of our bodies, but we give them so little respect. It is easy to take our feet for granted. They’re just there, putting up with a host of challenges, from being jammed into high heels and elevated to unnatural heights to smothering inside sweaty socks or tight nylon pantyhose. While suffering those indignities, our toes take hundreds of tons of force impact just during an average day of walking. That pounding explains why the foot is the body part most likely to get injured. You don’t need an expensive spa treatment to take care of your feet. Spending just a few minutes a day on foot care and choosing the right shoes can keep you free of problems that may lead to pain and even disability. These can help you to feel great again!

Below Are Good Ways To Treat Your Feet

Always Wash Your Feet

Always wash between your toes with a washcloth carefully and regularly. Yes, that means bending over in the shower to soap them up: if you can’t balance safely, use a long-handled shower brush or sit on a chair outside the tub as you wash your feet under the faucets. Be sure to dry foot completely, including between the toes. This wash-and-dry system lessens problems such as athletes ‘s foot, odor, bacteria and fungus.

Always Moisturize Your Feet

Moisturize your feet after washing. During dry-skin winter months, you may want to moisturize several times a day. Nothing fancy is needed: basic lotions and creams are fine.

Alternate the Shoes You Wear Each Day

This may mean having two pairs of your favourite everyday style, but shoes need time to air out to avoid triggering foot odor or infections. Change socks or stockings more than once a day. If you have a problem with smelly feet, soak them in a mixture of vinegar and water.

Never Let Your Feet Hurt

Tight shoes can worsen bunions, distort toe shape and cause painful foot growths. If you wear high heels, choose heels that are wide, stable and no higher than two inches. Toe boxes should be wide; pointed toes shouldn’t begin their narrowing shape until well past the ball of the foot, to protect your Achilles tendon from shortening, alternative heel heights regularly.

Wear Shoes With Supportive Arches

Flip-flops and completely flat shoes don’t provide arch support. Neither does walking barefoot. Women are especially prone to developing flat toes, which can lead to other foot problems. To keep toes strong and healthy, minimize the amount of time you wear shoes that lack supportive arches.
