dry clean ? dip in woolite and drip dry or lay it out flat/ air out
Hi ! I'm concerned about how to clean my kilts.. If something gets on it I quickly wipe it off with cold water. NOT using paper towels etc. I have used another material to get it off or a baby wipe.. So far nothing has stained my kilts. I have read that you should never dry clean a kilt. BUT to reverse it and let air get to it.. But if I need to wash it or clean it, how ? If drip wash works great, but what happens if kilt gets soft . My kilts are still stiff the pleats.. how do I get the stiff back if I drip wash it ? Starch ? Teflon ? I have ironed my pleats (wool setting ) & they came out good.. My kilts look great would like them to keep looking great. I break up moth balls into little pieces in a mesh bag and only put a little in a re do every so often so I don't smell moth balls.. also fabric sheets under a shirt I don't wear so drawer isn't so powerful of moth balls, sheets dont touch kilts nor moth balls. I get alot of different answers about dry cleaners / drip wash.. So any suggestions would be cool.. thank you very much...
