How to Clean?

When you clean your fur-based cowboy hat, use a clean and soft bristle brush. It will also help if you use horsehair brushes or a hat brush made with natural fibers.

Start at the crown and work your way with your brush to the brim going counterclockwise. It will loosen dust and dirt and remove them from your hat.

To clean the inside of your cowboy hat, you can sprinkle some cornstarch or talcum powder that will absorb the moisture and oils. Make sure to allow the powder to stay there for some hours before brushing the powder away.
