Handwashing your kilt at home

[sathor]

No - I use white vinegar, about a cup full, when washing a kilt in the bath, so it is quite diluted, and most of it drains away.

I have a quite acute sense of smell and have never detected a whif of chip shop after washing.

You could use anything acidic - lemon juice for instance, if you don't fancy vinegar. The fabric should feel smoother after the treatment, as it closes the scales on the fibres.

I just realized, after the move, I'll have a bath tub!

(Try making a 3 yo take a shower when he doesn't want one. Not fun. Not even at 4, or almost 5...)
