Real centerpieces of your wardrobe, hats are accessories that deserve your full attention because they require regular maintenance. Fortunately, Byga is ready to reveal several tips to keep the condition of your hat as long as possible.


Each material, its maintenance


First of all, each material is associated with a particular care. Indeed, whether it is a straw hat or suede, the techniques are not the same.


Straw hats

Let's start with the straw hat, the must-have of your summers. As you will have noticed, it is quite fragile and can easily deform. The mistake not to commit and which unfortunately is often practiced, is to hold your hat by the skullcap. What you need to do, is to take the hat delicately by its edges, whether to put it on or take it off. Thus, you will avoid deforming it given the sensitivity of the straw.




How to clean them ?


In order to thoroughly clean your straw hat, bring a clean, slightly damp cloth. In this way you will be able to eliminate stains.


Rain, its worst enemy Even though hats can protect you from the rain very well, they are unfortunately not made to withstand water. Straw is, by nature, an absorbent material. In this sense, wetting your hat could weaken it in some places and make appear tasks that can be very noticeable.If the hat accidentally gets wet, wipe it with a cloth as soon as possible and then let it dry naturally flat and without heat.


How to store them?


In addition, be aware that straw hats do not appreciate drought. It is therefore preferable to avoid exposing them to high heat or keeping them in a too closed space, thus reducing the risk of breakage or cracking.


Hats in suede

Suede or suede leather hats require your attention just as much although they have a more resistant material.


How to clean them?


Dust tends to accumulate gradually on suede hats. To get rid of it, nothing could be simpler: take a brush and rub gently to get rid of impurities.Be sure to carry out this maintenance diligently in order to preserve the condition of the suede.


The right gestures

You can also opt for a fabric bag, preferably cotton.If you regularly wear your hat and want to have it at hand, no worries, a good quality wall hanger is the piece to hunt for. If you decide to keep your hat outdoors, the frequency of hat maintenance with a brush should be doubled.
