THE DEFINITIVE WAY TO CLEAN YOUR KILT by Joshua Brown

I use the red cedar rings on my hanger hooks inside the kilt or coat cover bag. Keeps the cedar out of direct contact with the clothes. I sand and re-oil about twice a year.
I have found that the redwood lumber scraps left over from my porch and that I keep on the floor of the closet will take up a lot of this oil and keep the closet absolutely reeking of cedar for a long while.

What oil are you using? I used Giles & Kendall in a previous closet.

I am using "Something Cedar" Texas Cedar Wood Essential Oil Juniperus Mexicana. A pure Steam distillation of Texas Red Cedar. For reinvigorating all unfinished cedar wood surfaces. An 8 oz. bottle cost around $20.

For the smaller items that I do, I use rubber gloves and cotton balls to apply. Then I put the balls in a glass I keep in my wool hose drawer.

Not going to throw the balls away until the oil is dead. Thinking about walls, the oil takes a couple days to soak in to the point it will not transfer to clothes that may brush against it. The slow soak means it hasn't been thinned with solvents.
