    Never. Chemicals are bad for wool. Besides I like to know that the crud in my kilts is my crud and not a hundred other peoples mixed with toxins.

    Never had a wool kilt cleaned. So my answer would be about as often as a Hell's Angel washes his colors.

    Wash my USA Kilts from time to time if needed, but that's not often.

    Used to wash my Utilikilts fairly regularly when I was out hiking in them and getting them dirty and sandy.

    I do wash my kilt hose after every wearing...

    Actually they have rules about keeping their colors clean (not like the good ol' days of the 60's).

    Don't ask how I know
