A new kilt owner needs kilt cleaning help!

Interesting.

ANd how often do you lads and lassies have them cleaned?

[Thunderbolt]

I'm not being cryptic, but whenever it needs it.

If you can shake it out like fluffing a towel, and dust flies out of it...too late.

Really though, it depends on how often you wear it and where, like any other piece of clothing.

When I was playing with the band during the comp season, wearing it quite a lot, I took it in every month or so. But that's in the southwest heat, sweating all the time.

In Washington State, it was only once or twice a year, but I didn't wear it much.

Of course, YMMV.

I clean my kilts with a small kettle type steam cleaner. To press them I lay a cloth on the floor & the kilt on top of the cloth when I carefully place the pleats the same distance apart, then with a damp cloth on top, use a steam Iron, from the top to the bottom of the pleats( laying & lifting) I press them. This, if done carefully, does a great job & make the kilt like new.
