I have always been told to wash a cap in the dishwasher to keep it from getting ripped up, even if you have one of those plastic cap protectors for the washing machine.

I have to wash my A's cap every month because I run in it and it gets GROSS.
I fill up the kitchen sink with water and use laundry detergent (liquid works better than powder). I gently massage the detergent in to the fabric. For the bill, just rub detergent in without bending it up. By that time, the water should be brown, so drain it and rub the detergent out with running water. Make sure you get all the soap out. Hang it on a doorknob for several hours to dry. Should be as good as new

All Posts thanked!!
I will probably try what JoshHamilton does and wash it in my sink for this time.
I wear these hats at my warehouse job so they get pretty dirty and sweaty fast. What i have been doing for years and years is just buying these MLB hats and wearing them at work for a couple months, throwing it out and buying a new one once it gets grubby. I have a couple Yankees hats though with the World Series patch and last years Yankees hat had the Yankee Stadium tribute on the back, instead of the regular logoman, so i wanted to cleans these ones up since my hat store doesn't sell these ones anymore.
Next time im at the mall i might grab one of those Lids cleaning kits as well for some other hats.

I tend to hand wash mine with Woolite in cold water, and I use a toothbrush for scrubbing the band / bill because they get pretty gross. I stuff it with a bath towel and dry it in the dark in hopes that it retains it's shape. I don't have a lot of New Era hats, but do have a number of Cooperstown hats that I do this with. So far it's worked out pretty well.
