One thing I do when trying to reduce a spot with dry brushing. In order to get a bit more aggressive. I will grab some of the brush bristles tightly between my fingers to strengthen them a bit and then work the spot back and forth in all directions to help dislodge as much dirty as possible. Digging in as deep as possible without freying the felt. this can work wet too with same technic or with sponge. But I always try to get as much of a stain out as I can when dry before getting it wet.. as stated above… can kinda spread the mud around.Thanks for the advice guys.
It’ll be steam and brush to start with. I’ll try the tape as well. I have used it for stubborn lint before. I’m not confident it will work on these spots, but it’s worth a crack. If I can find a spot where a failure won’t be noticeable, I’ll give alcohol a go, too.
Next time I buy a hat from an overseas shop, I’ll look into getting sponges and other products at the same time.
I’d be interested to hear what everyone considers their hat maintenance essentials.
