How do I take care of the wood hat, shoe, purse or stone flower?
To clean a hat we use a soft clean cloth to wipe down the open areas of the hats, and a soft feather duster to remove any dust from the flowers and recessed areas. The hats are finished with a “Danish Oil”. We feel that any “Danish Oil” can be used for a touch up. Make sure that the oil is colorless and is called Natural. Use a clean piece of cloth and only dampen it with the smallest amount of oil and lightly wipe the hat. Wipe off any extra oil. Be careful around any flower petals. The Holly flowers should not be oiled, you dont want to accidentally color or stain them. The Vera flowers or leaves should not be oiled, as the natural wood patina color will bleed into the surrounding woods. We do not recommend displaying the hat in direct sun light or where it will be subjected to extreme temperature or humidity changes. The Alabaster flowers need only to be dusted with a soft feather duster. No additional finish should be applied.
