How do you clean a felt hat? Well, here at Allingtons, if you're asking that question we reckon you're potentially trying to shut the gate after the proverbial horse has bolted...

The better question would be 'How do I keep my felt hat clean?' or maybe 'How do I look after my felt hat?' Our answer would be - The B.K. Smith Felt Hat Care Kit! It has everything you need to keep your hat in top shape, even in the event of a hat (wardrobe) malfunction.

Whether your hat is an Akubra, Thomas Cook, Wrangler, Pure Western, Sovereign, Statesman or Stetson, made from rabbit fur, buffalo fur, beaver fur or wool, the care of any felt hat is pretty much the same. Our number one recommendation would be to treat your hat with Felt Hat Rain & Stain Protector Spray or some form of Scotchgard as soon as you purchase it. This will help to prevent staining in the first place, and will also boost your hat's water repellent qualities. Beyond that, if your hat just needs a light clean to take off loose nap, lint and surface soils, the hat Cleaning Sponge is perfect. Always use a sponge or a soft bristled brush in an anti-clockwise direction on your hat to assist in restoring the fur to it's original direction. In the event your hat does become dirty or stained, the Felt Hat Cleaning Spray is the next step.

There you have it! The B.K. Felt Hat Care Kit is suitable for wool felt and rabbit fur felt hats, and used as recommended it will extend the life of your felt hat, and keep it looking great for years to come!
