Washing/drying a Poly kilt

Don't use fabric softener either. Looks like English Bloke already covered that. That's what I get for a hasty reply.

Any recommendations for acrylic?
Should I treat it like poly?

Stay away from open flames, and get yourself a sweater shaver. Otherwise, I do note that mostly due to the wooly "texture" of acrylic they have to be really pressed well to actually look good. Unlike PV, which seems to straighten itself hanging up on my towel rack in my shower, acrylic seems to take a bit more work. Acrylic doesn't have the stain resistance that MM PV has, so don't worry about fabric softener..

I've actually been wearing my SWK acrylic BW around the house lately... It's got a very straight line rise and hip, so it has a vintage look to it.

Thanks for all the great advice. I have a new PV casual from USA Kilts and one of these days it's going to have to be washed. At that time I trust my bookmark will still be active.

On a further note, I was eating dinner with friends the other night and I unknowingly spilled something on my PV apron. I didn't notice it until the next day. A sponge with warm water, and a little dabbing and rubbing removed the stain. I hung it up in the closet and the next day there was no sign of it. Furthermore, a few wrinkles in the pleats from sitting on them had all hung out. It looked brand new! Almost care free so far ...
