If you have a mark or spill, lay the kilt on a towel, marked side down, then take a sponge or cloth and a bowl of warm water with a little drop of liquid soap or shampoo mixed in, then wet the sponge, squeeze it out so it is not dripping wet and then dab the area to push water through the fabric taking the mark with it into the towel.
When the mark is gone move to a new area of towel and use warm water only to rinse out the fabric.
Do not rub the fabric or pull it across the towel as that will alter the finish of the fabric.
To finish off, put the wet fabric between dry towels and press on it.
