How often do you clean your kilt?

[McClef]

With 24 kilts (OK not all of them are wool ) they don't get cruddy that quickly.

Have bought some woolite and will try mbhandy's method when I think a wool kilt is due. I don't have any dry cleaners close to me here in my valleys redoubt in any case.

I did have my first kilt dry cleaned many years ago when I lived in Bristol and don't recall it suffering any ill effects. I remember they had to charge it as "a ladies' pleated skirt" though.

I only wash mine every so often, I'm not wearing it 24/7 and I'm not rolling in the mud.

I have my kilt cleaned when it needs it. With normal wear, that's every few years, though if I have a bad parade season and get something poured on or dropped on me, it might be more often.

I have never had a kilt dry cleaned. The chemicals remove the natural oils that make a kilt water and dirt proof. Small stains are spot cleaned and really dirty kilts are hand washed.
