How to care for your kilt without washing

**Kilted KT** · 17th June 06, 02:23 PM

I've found a fantastic ( an cheap ) method to keep your kilt clean without water! It is a simple rubber dog-hair removal brush.

here is a link to one at walmart:

lay your kilt out flat, set the pleats correctly, and brush the kilt from top down, in short, quick strokes. The rubberized bristles remove hair and most large particles of dust, dirt and other such things. It works very well, and only costs a few dollars. So far I have not seen any damage from using this on my kilts.

Hope this helps!

Wonder if it would work on Mosquitos/Skeeters, gnats, and Midgies (gnats from HELL)?

hmm...I'm not sure of that...somehow I doubt it...

best bet is to have Matt Newsome make you a new kilt, especially if your old one smells that bad!

Prior to dry cleaning, the traditionnal way of cleaning wool suits was called brush and steam. First, you brush the suit (or the kilt) with a suit brush, to remove most ot the dirt. Second, you expose it to steam (hanged in a closed bathroom with hot water in the tub) to remove bad odours and to eliminate creases.
