    Glad it worked for you. I've been there. As a "Plan B" to keep in mind, just in case you find yourself in this situation again, soak the kilt in lukewarm water with a bit of dawn or similar dish soap. It will break the oil down enough for it to be washed away. I highly recommend the original dawn over all the "New and Improved" versions. Let it soak for a couple hours and then run it through the wash with about 1/2 the usual amount of detergent--a lot of soap will move with the kilt from soak to wash and it will be sudzy! And run it through at least 2 additional rinses. It's worked for me on several occasions and will also remove the PI oils from you in a pinch...but it won't calm the itch.
    The grass is greener on the other side of the fence...and it's usually greenest right above the septic tank.
