Man I have over 40 + hats and always looking for ways to clean my hats great video Jake thanks brother 🙏

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching Lewis, this method works great!

[@waynestefinashen239]

This method works great Brock well worth the trouble to clean them like this. Jake worked on a good method for many years before coming up with this one.

[@tonym6920]

Thanks for the info, I just stick mine in the washing machine, good enough for me. Cheers!

[@waynestefinashen239]

Don't they take a beating in the washing machine?

[@MrTheHillfolk]

I've had decent luck with the dishwasher, just don't use tons of dishwasher soap, like a tablespoon is fine. And while it's running , interrupt it and throw in a capful of bleach to unalive the yukkies you can't see.

Great info Jake, I know your pop doesn't need it, he never sweats. 🤣👍

It's called "20 mule team Borax" because in the old days at the mine, they'd haul the loads of borax out in wagons behind teams of ... wait for it ... 20 mules.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Nice, good to know and thanks for explaining that!

Now your showing your age knowing that information do you remember watching the ad on the TV?

[@themowerman]

Sooo the big question is how do you get a clean EP hat to get one dirty? Asking for a friend lol

[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

Yes I am the friend

[@waynestefinashen239]

See reply to the Big Dog mate! Exceptions have been made but you already have a toque to keep the dome warm during the cold weather.

@@henrymurawskibigdogrepair And should we note one without a wish list correct?

[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

Great video Jake got to get me one of those hats mate

[@waynestefinashen239]

Donboy73 is the only person we ever shipped one of these hats and that is mainly because he was the inspiration for Jake getting involved in doing small engine repair videos on KZbin. I will make it a point that whenever we get another set of hats embroidered Hank you will be the first and only person we ship one to sir!

[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

@@waynestefinashen239 you are the man

[@sheri023]

Good advice for stinky fabrics! I wonder if you washed a new hat that way if the water would be gray too. When I wash dark clothing, the water always becomes darker than the wash with lighter colored clothing. That's why I wash the dark clothes separate from the white or lighter clothes, so the dye from the dark won't get on the white. Dark always seems to fade, even with no soap, just water.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

That's very interesting, I only have black hats so I can't really test anything else other than maybe some white tshirts lol most of my shirts and long sleeves are black too.

[@toddosterhout9866]

Do you have a link to buy the hats? I have the hat cage and I just spray it with spray and wash and put it in the washing machine with clothes and leave it in the cage and hang to dry

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Unfortunately I don't sell my EP hats, these ones are just for us. At some point we may set up a merch shop though. Thanks for watching!

[@kemobam]

What about sweat stains?

[@Supafuzz75]

Got a 1554 and pto stopped working.. Clutch is showing grounded,, i think,, (reads like 0.02 ohms) so borrowed another off someone.. Only plugged the one i borrowed in to see if it would engage but won't.. The borrowed one reads 2.8 ohms.. Still won't engage.. Did put a new pto switch on it.. I'm lost now on next thing to do..

[@waynestefinashen239]

If the resistance is ok within specification for that PTO it may be too big of an air gap which you can reset or a poor connection of the wiring harness plug to the PTO. If it is grounded out then it needs replacement and we have found the Xtreme PTOs to work very well and they are less expensive than the OEMs.

[@waynestefinashen239]

If you bench test the PTO with 12 volt source to ensure it works than the issue is electric wiring or the switch

[@philliphall5198]

I wash in washer with rest of pants and don’t use dryer just stick on styfoam head and let dry

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Nice, yea that works too!

[@waynestefinashen239]

The EP method keeps them looking like new even thought they are 4 years old and steadily worn whereas the washing machine method really beats them up i would think?

[@waynestefinashen239]

Excellent thumbnail promoting the EP brand it looks fantastik (do not use this on your hats lol). Well Big Dog Henry Murawski being a hat collector does this video help you out? Figured this video was a perfect fit for you and all the other hat wearing small engine community mechanics. I never realised before that Jake uses 5 hats and i only have ONE not sure how this worked out i was sure we were equal partners but i guess i only control 20% and the President holds 80% eh? Next job on your list is to wash mine likely smells like cigarettes but have been off the cigs now for 3 months so a fresh start for my hat is called for right?

[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

Yes it will help me when it is time to clean my hats thanks for the video.

[@bigsonslawncare]

eh!🤣

[@LewisMowersandBoats]

😂😂😂😂 only one hat 😊

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Yes we'll definitely get yours cleaned up next!
