See I got this spot on my hat???

Post by Pyramid Jones »

Well on the top I have it covered with light brown almost tan and I think it is dirt but it covers the top and I have brushed the hat but can't get it off. I was wondering can you all suggest anything I can do yo get rid of it. I have even used some steam and brushed it at the same time.

Steam?! I hope you haven't 'set' the stain doing that! :shock:

Never use steam for cleaning felt.

I did a search and came up with 169 hits on hat cleaning.

For example, viewtopic.php?f=5&t=42566&hilit=Hat+cleaning" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Try doing a search first and see if the answer isn't already available to you.

Any pic's, I had some issues w/my AB, look for my post about cleaning with Naptha. In the end I had to send it to Steve for a complete over haul. Since then my issue hasn't returned and she's a thing of beauty.

ps: I tried coping and pasting the link, but I'm using my daughters lap top today, and dang if I can figure how to copy. :oops:
But look down a few post's and you'll see one about cleaning w/naptha posted by me.
Good luck.
