Cleaning?

[Kilted KT]

For those in the United States:

Where do you take your handsewn wool kilts for cleaning? I'd hate to walk into the average dry cleaners and expect them to know how to do the whole thing as uncommon as they are around here.

I've also dropped a note on the local pipe band to see if they have a "preferred" cleaner.

I contacted the local pipe and drum corps. and brought my kilt to the cleaners they recommended. That was for my lightiweight 5 yard kilts. I'm growing to learn that Hamish is right in stating that sending them to the cleaners not something that you really want to do. I'll dig around and find the thread here about cleaning kilts and have it posted here in a bit.

here is the thread about dry cleaning a kilt...take heed.

Thank you very much. That makes a lot of sense.

I've been using Glassman's suggestion from this thread - the Dryel home dry cleaning kit. Other than covering the straps (there's a warning about not using this with leather), there's no muss, no fuss.
