Hat Care Guide

Use our Gigi Pip Hat Brush to help remove dust + dirt from the surface of your hat. For best practice, gently brush the hat counterclockwise, starting at the front + working your way around while moving with the natural grain of the felt. 

+ TIP: Always brush your hat before spot cleaning or applying treatments + always brush in the same direction consistently.

A good rule of thumb: always keep a lint roller on hand to remove lint, hair, and dust from your brim. Our Felt Hat Lint Roller was specifically designed so you can take it on-the-go! A quick + often lint roll will help to preserve the quality of your felt hat.

+ TIP: Rip off a sheet from your lint roller + press into the hard-to-reach crevices of your hat, like the crown!

A good hat sponge is one of the oldest tricks in the books to remove smudges + give your hat a clean new look. Use the Gigi Pip Hat Cleaning Sponge dry to shave off loose nap, surface dirt + imperfections. This works great for makeup smudges!

+ TIP: Be sure to use one sponge for your dark felt hats + one for your light felt hats!

Hat need a little lift? Use our hat stiffener spray to preserve the shape + stiffness of your hat.

First, clean your hat with a brush or sponge. Then, hold the bottle 8-10 inches away from your hat + finely mist over the entire hat only using a couple of sprays. Allow to dry + then wear with confidence!
