How to Clean a Corduroy Hat

Here’s a simple guide to cleaning your corduroy hat.

1. Brush Off Loose Dirt

The first step to cleaning a corduroy hat is to remove any loose dirt or dust. Use a soft-bristled brush or a clean, dry cloth to gently brush the surface of the hat. Move the brush in the direction of the corduroy ridges (also called “wales”) to avoid damaging the fabric. This will help get rid of any dirt sitting on top of the material.

Op Novae-Apparel, we recommend brushing your hat regularly to prevent dirt from building up.

2. Spot Clean Stains

If your hat has any small stains, it’s best to spot clean them. Dampen a clean cloth with cold water and gently dab the stained area. Be careful not to rub too hard, as this can cause the stain to spread. If the stain is tough, you can add a small amount of mild detergent to the water. Make sure to test the detergent on a small, hidden part of the hat first to make sure it won’t damage the fabric.

3. Hand Wash for a Deeper Clean

If your corduroy hat needs a deeper clean, hand washing is the best option. Fill a bowl or sink with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent. Gently dip the hat into the water and swirl it around. Avoid scrubbing or wringing the hat, as this can damage the fabric and change the shape of the hat.

Once you’ve cleaned the hat, rinse it with clean, cold water to remove any detergent. Be sure to handle the hat gently while rinsing.

4. Air Dry the Hat

After washing your hat, it’s important to let it air dry. Do not put your corduroy hat in the dryer, as this can shrink the fabric and ruin the shape. Instead, place the hat on a clean towel and reshape it while it’s still damp. Let the hat air dry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Sunlight can cause the color of the fabric to fade.

5. Use a Lint Roller for a Final Touch

Once your hat is dry, you can use a lint roller to remove any lint or fuzz that might be stuck to the corduroy fabric. Roll it gently over the hat to make it look clean and fresh again.

Cleaning your corduroy hat is simple if you follow the right steps. By brushing off dirt, spot cleaning stains, and hand washing when needed, you can keep your hat looking new for a long time. At Novae-Apparel, we take pride in creating durable, stylish hats that are easy to care for.
