Darn. I always turn the sweat out before dunking the hat.

Question

Does this work on straw, or do they have something similar for that?

I don't know if I'd try it Bolt. Check out this old book, The Practical Dry Cleaner. I haven't looked at it in a long time, but there was a chapter on cleaning straw hats. Worth a look.

For some reason I can't read the full book. All I get is some excerpts...

Go to google. Choose the "More" drop-down and choose "Books". Then type in "Practical Dry Cleaner" and hit search. You should get the "full view" book as the first hit.

I did that before. Didn't work. Maybe it's because I always get redirected to the German google site. May have something to do with different copyright laws in different contries...

Thanks for this tip Buler! I was wondering what the stain was from on the first post in this thread? I work on photo copiers and wear my felt to work and I am terrified I will get copier toner or grease on my hat!!

Chum, not sure what it was from. But it wasn't a "inky" liquid stain. It was dry hardened stuff.
