How To Clean Hats Using The Captician Hat Cleaning Kit​

1. Shake the stain remover bottle before use

2. Colour fastness test

1. Spray The Captician Hat Cleaner onto a hidden spot and press 
2. Press on a hidden area of the hat with The Captician microfibre cloth for 20 seconds.
3. If any colour transfers onto the cloth, do not use it.
*Note: The Captician Hat Cleaner is not suitable for suede or leather.*

3. Brush

Remove any stickers from the hat. Re-apply them once the hat is dry.
Brush away dust & dirt. If a stain is wet, only brush the dry fabric around it.

4. Mist

To avoid water marks, use The Captician No Watermark Mist.

Spot cleaning only wets one part of the fabric, causing uneven drying and sometimes leaving a visible ring as the water evaporates. As moisture moves outward, it carries tiny impurities, creating a noticeable mark at the edge of the wet spot.

Mist where the stain is located:
• Crown: Mist the entire crown.
• Brim/Visor: Mist both sides. •
• Sweatband: Do not pre-mist. If moisture from cleaning seeps to the crown or brim, mist those areas for even drying.

5. Apply Stain Remover

Spray the Hat Cleaner directly onto the stain and wait for 2 minutes

6. Blot & Wipe

Dampen half your cloth with warm water; blot and wipe with the damp half, then repeat with the dry half to absorb moisture.

• When spot cleaning: If the fabric surrounding the area you just cleaned begins to dry, lightly mist those areas with the No Watermark Mist to maintain even dampness and ensure uniform drying.

7. Dry

Place your hat on a mannequin head or stuff it with a rolled-up towel to maintain its shape. Use a hairdryer on the cool setting or allow the hat to air dry in a well-ventilated area to promote uniform drying and help prevent watermarks.

8. Check

Allow your hat to fully dry to see the results. Stubborn stains might require more than one application. Repeat steps 4–7 if any stain remains.
