What should I know before cleaning it?
Wool felt is a delicate material. A gentle, regular clean is better than an occasional harsh clean.
Helpful items to have on hand:
- A soft-bristle brush (for clothing or hats).
- A lint roller or gentle adhesive tape.
- A clean, slightly damp cloth for spot stains.
How do I clean it day to day?
For dust, lint, or small particles:
- Brush the hat gently, always in the same direction.
- Start on the crown and move towards the brim, without pressing too hard.
- If stubborn fibers remain, use a lint roller carefully.
How can I remove light stains?
For surface stains:
- Lightly dampen a clean cloth with cold water.
- Dab the area gently—do not rub in circles.
- Let it air-dry away from direct heat or strong sunlight.
If the stain is oily or very noticeable, it’s best to take it to a dry cleaner experienced with delicate items.
What if my hat gets wet?
- Let it dry naturally on a flat surface or on a stand.
- Do not use a hair dryer, radiator, or any direct heat source.
- Avoid long exposure to sun to prevent warping or color fading.
What should I always avoid?
- Do not machine wash the hat or submerge it in water.
- Do not use bleach, harsh products, or multi-purpose cleaners.
- Do not crush the crown when storing it in closets or suitcases.
- Do not hang it from the same point all the time to avoid deformation.
