How to Clean Black Hats
Hair, dust and lint stand out on black hats, so they need to be cleaned well, especially after constant wear. Removing the surface debris can help the hat look cleaner, but it may need a more thorough cleaning. Some hats can be put into the washing machine. Check the care tag to find out whether your hat can. For hats that need to be hand-washed, use laundry soap and a washcloth. A little elbow grease can clean a hat by hand just as well as a washing machine. Does this Spark an idea?
