Dry Cleaning [Revisited]

[Jimmy Carbomb]

Jimmy,

Where do you find these home dry cleaning bags? I haven't seen them (although I haven't looked . . .). Also, I assume that they use some type of chemical action in the dryer -- have you noticed any damage to the leather straps, or do you do some type of leather conditioning before / after?

Regards,
Mark

Sorry about the delay with the response. Three lashes and a Guinness to me. Wait... that's actually kind of cool.

Rufus was right with the Dryel thing. I've done my wool kilts atleast two times each, and they have no damage... no wear... no fading... no stains... and the ironing (or steaming) is minimal. As for the leather straps, a dry cleaner suggested that I use pieces of terry cloth tied-up with string to protect them. To this point, it has worked like a charm. My kilts are beautiful. Now, it we could just figure out what to do with the wearer.

No Guinness for you this weekend! Light beer only!

Jimmy and Rufus -- thanks!! I'll look around for them.
