How do I remove a sunscreen handprint from the inside of a black baseball cap?

Our answer

Blot away excess sunscreen, then spot-clean the cap lining with a small amount of mild liquid detergent and cool water. Test for colourfastness first and air-dry; avoid soaking caps with cardboard or delicate brims.

Why this approach makes sense

Materials, cleaning instructions and equipment design vary. Pick a reversible approach that fits the exact surface or appliance.

Before you try it

Check the model instructions and test on a small area before committing to a permanent change.
