Ironing and Pressing a Buzz Kidder

[Mael Coluim]

Thanks, Ted for sharing your technique. My BK suffered a lot of abuse this weekend at the Williamsburg Scottish Festival. It needs to be cleaned. So thanks for the heads up on what you found works in pressing it.

I finally got to clean my BK this week. I washed it on on the gentle cycle. Straight from the washer I hung it on a hanger and arranged the pleats. Then I used my Conair hand fabric steamer ($30 from Walmart) to press the pleats and steam out the wrinkles in the aprons. The steamer has a clip on crease attachment that pressed the pleats rather nicely. I let it air dry over night and it was ready for service, again. That was EASY!
