    Excellent advice. I might add, if you do wash it, add a bit of hair conditioner to the last rinse, it will help restore some of the natural oils in the wool. Remember, wool is the hair of a sheep!

    I am a fan of using a soft/gentle cloth soaked in COLD water to gently spot wash the kilt. A soak in cold water would be faster and more thorough if you require that...

    My youngest is away for a couple of weeks so I have been digging out the back bedroom - finding out where all the towels, plates and cutlery were.

    After a session in there this morning gathering up clothes for washing, I realised that I had not been to collect my new glasses.

    Ah.

    Into the bathroom and find a sponge, put some warm water in the sink, immerse sponge, squeeze out, gently dab/wipe away the evidence.

    An old trick but it works well, and the slight damping of the surface soon dries.
