    A side note - most cleaners do not "iron" anything because it takes too long. They press everything with a pressing machine. But it wouldn't hurt to specify that as well.

    I would certainly suggest shopping around for a cleaner that has kilt experience, I would ask. I also suspect you might get a wide variety of pricing as it is not a standard garment.

    Good luck.
    The last time I had a kilt cleaned and pressed they charged me by the pleat. I don't remember how much, it was 25+ years ago, but I do remember that it was not too dear.
