Hat cleaning supplies for overseas customers suggestions?

[Torpedo]

Hello,

I am trying to find a source for obtaining common hat cleaning and manteinance products, and up to now no luck. Either they do not ship to Europe, or do but charge enormous p&p expenses, or do not admit credit cards/paypal.

I would like to acquire Scout dark hat cleaner and sponges - both the orange and the white varieties, which I understand have different properties. And maybe those plastic hat stands.

Would anyone there point me to a vendor able to supply these to Europe (Spain, specifically) for a reasonable post expense, and who takes credit cards or paypal?

Torpedo,

Thanks for your question! I too have wondered about this.

If someone has useful information, please post it in this thread, so that is available for all non-US hat wearers.

If you have no luck finding someone in Europe to get this stuff from PM me and I will see about sending it to you from here. I can get the sponges and plastic stands locally and possibly the cleaner.

Water with a mild detergent solution...the BEST way to clean a hat! Avaliable anywhere! and its cheap! Try that first!

Well I am forbidden by this forum as a vendor if i can supply items myself .... :rage:

Anyway if you want sponges ...... try : http://www.westernscene.co.uk/Store/erol.html#3504X0

Scroll down and they also sell sponges.

As to Cleaning - what is wrong with hat? to sell/buy pure ethanol in UK is restricted unless you have government permission via HMRC ... But ultimately what is the stain you are trying to remove? That would determine it's treatment.
