Be very careful!!!

First does the kilt really need to be cleaned? If it just really needs to be pressed don't get it cleaned. The chemicals used are very bad for a kilt. They remove the lanolin from the kilt. The more you have it cleaned the faster it will wear out and the easier it will get dirty.

Make sure the cleaner you are using is familiar with a man's kilt. Many are not and they can absolutely ruin an expensive kilt. A numpty with the hot presses used at a cleaners can be a disaster for the pleats. If you don't feel comfortable with the cleaner after you talk to them try to find another. In the past I have suggested that you locate a local piper or pipe band and find out where they get their kilts done.

If you can't find someone who has done real kilts, one consideration is to have basting stitches put into the pleats before you take it to the cleaners. This will protect them.

To repeat however, does it really need to be cleaned. Spot cleaning can take care of most problems.
