How often do you clean your kilt?

[Alan H]

1) Scrub the tub
2) Woolite
3) Add tepid water (should be cold but hands cramp, just enough warm to put hands in)
4) gently place kilt in tub
5) agitate water
6) let sit
7) drain water
8) run shower to rinse kilt
9) place on towel and gentle press water out
10) hang to dry
11) check pleats and correct as necessary
12) gently press if necessary

Repeat only when necessary

This is exactly what I do, though I use slightly warmer water, but not "hot". It's worked well for My wool and wool blend kilts.

I washed my two Stillwaters this way....note that these were the older style "standards" which didn't have sewn-down fells....and after the third washing, no amount of meticulous pressing could get the pleats to look truly "right" again. Conclusion....don't wash your Stillwaters or Frugal Corner acrylic kilts any more often than you absolutely HAVE to.

The Poly viscose kilts just go in the washing machine like anything else. I wash those maybe twice a year, except for the kilts I work out/throw in. They get washed about 4-5 times a year.
