THE DEFINITIVE WAY TO CLEAN YOUR KILT by Joshua Brown

[Mark Stephenson]

Got me thinking about my dad who was an artist and sign painter and died from multiple illnesses while I was in the 5th grade. He wouldn't let me go into the shop as he was ill from it and hunting another line of work. Now just about everything in there is on the toxic lists. Lead based paint, carbon tetrachloride, xylene and various other solvents and thinners. This was all pre OSHA and MSDSs.

Aye. All of those are ototoxic - they do not harm the ear drum, but CAN harm the inner ear and can cause hearing loss. That's just one more reason to go with something mild like the prior mention of using Ivory soap to clean your kilt.
