A laundry device configured to sealingly engage a visor of a ball cap to be cleaned with a solvent, comprising:

• at least one compressible sheet that comprises a material that is compressible and solvent resistant, each compressible sheet of the at least one compressible sheet being configured to contact and cover at least a portion of at least one side of the visor continuously from side to side at least proximate to an inner perimeter portion of the visor that faces and extends from a crown of the ball cap;
• a first plate and a second plate configured to sandwich the at least one compressible sheet and the visor therebetween, the first plate and the second plate having respective inner perimeter portions that face the crown, having respective outer perimeter portions that extend beyond the visor, and each having a shape that accommodates the visor but is larger than the visor at least along the outer perimeter portions thereof;
• and
• at least one attachment member that engages the first plate and the second plate to join the first plate and the second plate and to compress the at least one compressible sheet around the visor so as to provide a sealing engagement of the laundry device around at least a portion of the visor,
• wherein the inner perimeter portion of the visor has ends, and wherein the first plate and second plate are each provided with at least one continuous ridge that is disposed in the outer perimeter portion thereof inwardly of the attachment member and that extends from one end of the inner perimeter portion of the visor to another end of the inner perimeter portion of the visor, the respective at least one continuous ridges both facing in the same direction so as to join and nest with one another to provide a sealing engagement of the outer perimeter portions thereof when the attachment member engages the first plate and the second plate.
