    Thanks Pleater,
    About the detergent, how does woolite work? I've also read somewhere that you can mix lanolin with the detergent. Is that true?
    Scotland is only 1/5 the size of Montana, but Scotland has over 3,000 castles and Montana has none.

    If you have enough water in the bath to have the kilt able to move around easily, for the swooshing, then a cup of vinegar is in the right range.
    Completely unrelated to kilts, but if you add vinegar in lieu of liquid fabric softener to towels (assuming you dry with a fabric softener sheet), they will come out of the dryer much softer. I also use the vinegar on my jeans (I don't dry mine), and they're less stiff after coming off the line, because there's no left-over soap in them.

    Adding vinegar to towels also causes them to pull and hold more water than simply washing them, so they actually do their job better.
