A new lease of life
Kilt cleaning, pleat realigning and professional pressing
The kilt can be worn for a long time without being cleaned and still look good. This is due to the magical properties of wool and the 2×2 twill weave. Soiling and stains are less noticeable on the uneven surface and it recovers from creasing better than plain-weave fabrics.
However, there comes a time when it does need freshened up with some minor repairs.
I have successfully cleaned and pressed kilts that have been around since the beginning of the 1900s.
I do not use dry cleaning chemicals to clean the kilt. It is a wet clean.
Before pressing with my professional pressing equipment, the pleats are realigned and basted together accurately to ensure the pleats do not flair.
