    *Scream! Scream! Scream!*

    I wouldn't even think about trying it. I have read about it in a few old threads, but I wouldn't put a tank in a dryer to be thrown around, and around, and around in scalding heat.

    Eh, you should be able to very gently wash a wool kilt in your bathtub using wool safe soap.. There are plenty of threads on how to do that.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Here's a couple of links to get you up and running:

    The Wizard of BC's post in his thread "Military Kilt repairs" where he describes
    washing a filthy old kilt
    .


    Barb T.'s tutorial on basting kilts for pressing


    Hope those help get you started, or for anyone else that reads this thread.

    Yeah, this is pretty much what I've been doing, but was looking for something that may have been easier/faster.

    From seeing other post you've made, you are really good with links
