Beer and Mud

[Kilted Taper]

Hope this is the right place to post this....

Over the weekend I wore my new X-Marks kilt to a beer fest in VA. Not the smartest move on my part. Started out with torrential rains. Ok, I was a little worried about getting it wet, but knew it would make it through. Then, because of the rain mud was created. Now I've got a few big mud splots on the kilt. The kicker of it all....my wife comes up from behind me and spills a beer all over the front apron of the kilt.

Again, not worried about the watter. Got all but one mud spot completly off. But the beer...I'm worried about it. Some of the white has changed a shade of yellow. How should I clean it? I've searched, and no one can really agree it seems. I think I'm at the point of wanting to avoid a dry cleaner, but what, if anything, are my other options? Thanks.

Think if you searched the board for "wash" and "clean" you'd probably wind up hand washing it in cold water with Woolite in the bathtub...

Firstly -- for the sake of the kilt, start hanging out with liquor people.

Just kidding. Beer is like mustard though -- evil. There used to be markers that you could use on clothes and carpet for stains, but I'm not sure if there was one for white...

The mud should be easy enough to remove when dry with a brush. Either get the kilt dry cleaned by a reputable vendor or you could invest in a steam cleaning jug or a steam cleaner and do a little cleaning yourself..Good luck.
