MUST-HAVE'S FOR CLEANING YOUR HAT
Cleaning your felt hat can be a delicate task. Whether you need a light cleaning to refresh or you literally wear your hat every day + would run it through the washing machine if you could (don't do that!), we've got the tips, tricks, + products you need for keeping your hat looking fresh every day. Check them out below!
HAT BRUSH
Use a hat brush to help remove dust + dirt from the surface of your hat. For best practice, gently brush the hat counterclockwise, starting at the front + working your way around while moving with the natural grain of the felt.
+ TIP: Always brush your hat before spot cleaning or applying treatments + always brush in the same direction consistently.
LINT ROLLER
A good rule of thumb: always keep a lint roller on hand to remove lint, hair, and dust from your brim. A quick + often lint roll will help to preserve the quality of your felt hat.
+ TIP: Rip off a sheet from your lint roller + press into the hard-to-reach crevices of your hat, like the crown!
HAT SPONGE
A good hat sponge is one of the oldest tricks in the book to remove smudges + give your hat a clean new look. Use a hat cleaning sponge dry to shave off loose nap, surface dirt + imperfections. This works great for makeup smudges!
+ TIP: Be sure to use one sponge for your dark felt hats + one for your light felt hats!
