    1. Follow the directions that should have come from the kilt maker.

    2. Unless you have an accident and get something on the kilt, you don't have to do a lot. Avoid the temptation to "clean" your kilt after routine wear. I mostly lay them out (inside out) overnight, and then hang them to air out. It's amazing how many wrinkles simply fall out - disappear.

    3. Don't dry clean a kilt. If you feel you have to do so, make sure you find a dry cleaner that knows how to clean and press a kilt. I can't begin to tell you how to find a such a dry cleaner. Hopefully, others on the forum can.

    Finally, good luck.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    I tested my dry cleaner with a cheap PV kilt. After it came back OK I let them clean my wool ex-hire Black Isle. They did every time a great job. And I had to pay just 6.50 € for the cleaning.
