Getting rid of a funky smell in a secondhand kilt

[Lallans]

Update:

Having emptied a cheap bottle of wodka on it (with a spray bottle) most of the smell is out of the inner and outer apron. Cheaper and better than febreze!

It's in between the pleats that the smell still persist. So I just put it in the freezer for an overnight after a tip of someone, and then the cold water bath.

The cedar planks are arriving tomorrow! ����

Cedar wood will primarily keep clothes moths away, if the kilt is placed in a reasonably air tight hanging bag or container with it, its toxic to their larvae which are what do all the damage. I use cedar oil as a supplement to the natural wood, it comes in little bottles and lends a distinct if faint and not unpleasant odour of its own. Believe me, you do not want clothes moths to get established in your home, not if you have any amount of wool around.
