I’ve just moved into a new place, and I’m having to adjust my method for cleaning my great kilts. At my old place, I would soak my great kilts in a tub along with some gentle wool wash, hand squeeze it out, and then hang it from a makeshift clothing rack, where the excess water would air dry and drip off onto the ground. However, at my new place, I’m having to dry it inside, so letting the water drip onto the floor isn’t an option as it’s inside the house and in a relatively high traffic area, so re-integrating my drip tray idea isn’t an option either. I had an idea that I would like input on. I was thinking of soaking it in wool wash as normal, hand squeezing it out, and then putting it in the washer only on a delicate spin cycle to hopefully push extra water out without wearing the fabric, and then hang drying it the last of the way and steaming it to knock wrinkles out.

Thoughts/concerns/advice?

This would only be for my wool great kilts, my method for cleaning tailored kilts should still suffice at my new home. ]]> MHorne39 https://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f139/wool-great-kilt-spin-cycle-99422/
