I think brushing is fine, for wool, Tobus. This is only from what I have read on the forum and some clothing care sites; I'm ignorant... In one of my threads, Nanook said a goat hair brush, or something like that, should be used.

I was really just wondering if the vacuum cleaner would damage the kilt in some way that I don't understand. I guess it would if it sucked the kilt down the hose.

I did clean around the mouth area of the Dust Buster before using it on the kilt; might have had dirt or something on it.
