Care & Maintenance
General Care Tips
Clean hands, Clean hat
Oils and dirt from your hands can transfer to your hat. Always handle it with clean hands to maintain its appearance. Your hat deserves that extra bit of love!
Storing Your Hat
Stand Tall
Use a hat stand or a hook when storing your hat to maintain its shape. Avoid stacking it with heavy items or folding it—preserve that beautiful structure.
Dust Bag Essentials
Planning to store your hat for a while? Place it in a dust bag or box. This helps keep it free from dust, dirt, and sunlight damage.
Cleaning Instructions
Spot Clean Only
Accidents happen—if you get a stain, use a soft, damp cloth to gently blot the area. Avoid using harsh chemicals; our hats prefer a gentle touch.
Dust It Off
Regular brushing helps maintain the hat’s pristine look. Use a soft-bristled hat brush and always brush in the direction of the fabric’s grain. Keep it simple, keep it fresh!
Protecting Your Hat from Water Damage
Dodge the Downpour
While our hats are tough, they aren’t fans of heavy rain or snow. If your hat gets wet, let it air dry naturally. Avoid heat sources like hair dryers, which can warp its shape.
Spray for Safety
Want extra protection? Apply a water-repellent spray designed for hats. Remember to test it on a small area first to ensure it doesn’t affect the hat’s color.
Reshaping Your Hat
Finger Strength
Each hat has a metal band. If you notice a dent or curve, use your fingers to gently smooth it out. Apply a little pressure, go slowly, and the shape should return. Once it’s smoothed out, you’re ready to go!
Steam Magic
Got a dent or a misshaped hat? Use steam for a quick fix. Hold your hat over steam (e.g., from a kettle) and gently mold it back into shape with your hands. Don’t soak it—just a little steam goes a long way.
Long-Term Maintenance
Keep It Shady
Our hats are crafted to handle the outdoors, but to keep colors vibrant, avoid leaving your hat in direct sunlight for extended periods. When you’re not showing it off, store it in a cool, shaded spot.
Pet-Proofing
We know pets love hats too, but for their safety (and the hat’s!), keep your Catrina Art hat out of their reach.
