How to Clean My Hat

Long, long ago, like around 20 or 25 years ago, I bought myself a cool hat made of a sort of twill or denim fabric.  It’s been in my closet since I moved here 18 years ago, and I just pulled it out this past week.  I used to wear it semi-often when I lived in New Orleans.

It looks really bad.  Dusty and dirty.  I am amazed it has mostly kept its shape, which gives me a little hope.  What I need to know, however, is how to properly clean it without destroying it.

My baseball caps can go into the washing machine and survive.  There’s no way in hell I would put this hat into the washing machine.  I need to get a proper hat brush and get most of the dust off, of course, but it really does need a deep clean as well, but I don’t want to get it soaking wet.

So….. what do you recommend?  Feel free to leave your comments and suggestions in the comment space below.

  1. 1. Ask a professional hatter or cleaner.
    2. Detergent bubbles and a small scrub brush: nail brush, veggie brush, etc.

    Good luck!
