Handwashing your kilt at home

[Kiltedfirepiper]

I use a tub of cold water and woolite for colors,
fill the tub so the kilt is submerged, ( woolite already added) gently move it around and lift it out for a few mins. then drain the water( which by now will be VERY dirty) then put more cold water in it repeat but lift it out more often then "swishing" it drain, repeat till theres no more soap in the water.

hang kilt with buckles.....buckled ( you will need a really heavy duty hanger for this part)

and let it drip dry. run your fingers down the pleats to "reset" the pleats and at the same time squegee(sp) some of the water out. depending on where you live, time of year it'll be anywhere from a few hours to a full day for it to dry.

thats how I've always washed my kilts and have never had a problem with them.

ps. if you dont want your leather straps to get wet then hold them out while washing, but it hasnt hurt my straps to get em wet so far ( 8 years on one of em) just mink oil em a little while before!

one of these days I'm gonna make a Video on how to do this.
