Today, in the store, I found something called Woolite Oxy Carpet cleaner. I think we have all seen the commercials for the cleaning power of oxygen.

Anyhow, after looking at the bottle, I read on the back, it's gentle enough to use on sweaters, skirts, and pretty much any wool garmet as well as wool carpets. It's a spray bottle, and removes stains, bad oders, and protects colours from fading. All it takes is a light rinse and presto, like new clean wool. After washing, it coats the fabric to prevent new stains from setting in.

Based on the description this looks like it would make a great kilt cleaner for wool kilts that would need dry clean only. Jimmy Carbomb pmed me about never taking a kilt to the dry cleaners, to use Woolite. Well, this stuff looks even better then regular Woolite. Protects colours? We could keep our greens greener, our reds redder, blues bluer, and yellows and oranges eye piercing. And that stain resistant coating, think that will actually work? If it works as advertised, I could see wool kilts being a bit more knock around if you didn't have to worry as much about stains or spots. I am a mess waiting to happen... And I eat things that drip like sloppy Mexican food and BBQ. Stainguard as a feature is something I can not resist.

I might try it out and post results if I choose to buy a wool kilt.
