Getting poison ivy off kilts?

[fluter]

I was under the impression the detergent removed the teflon coating. I will have to do more research on this.

Tried a new path from work today, I think this one was worse over all. Trying yet another path tomorrow.

With the Marton Mills PV fabric (the good stuff) we're cautioned that fabric softener will gradually affect the coating. No one's ever mentioned detergent that I recall. I use regular detergent, wool-wash ones, and Ivory Snow.

I believe that the TKN's are a different fabric, maybe PV and acetate blend? I say that because they look like the standard "designed in Scotland" ones seen all over, and the boiler-plate text about "16 ounce PV." Drop them a line and ask about care! They are reputed to be good with customer service.

Their "casual kilt" page says:

Although they can be dry cleaned, these kilts can also be cleaned in the washing machine on the gentle cycle (cold water wash, hang dry, use a cool iron to maintain the pleats).

I think you'd be safe on gentle cycle with your choice of soap.
