Help Wanted Kilt Cleaning

Does anyone have any recommendations for places around town where I can get my kilt laundered?

Thanks!

Try the Broadmoor Cleaners. Very, very good and not insanely expensive. The have done lots of priests' vestments.

Is it like a dry clean only type thing? The tide store did a great job dry cleaning something for me

I'm honestly not really sure. I suspect it's dry clean only. It's all wool, and while it's very durable it's also very expensive. So I just want to make sure it's treated right. If there's anyone who knows for sure they can do it, they'll be at the top of my list.

There are tons of places around town and you probably do need dry cleaning for that. Maybe Super Quality Cleaners? I've gotten a couple of wool sweaters done there before.

Any dry cleaner should be able to do it.

Depends on what your kilt is made from. Polyester, cotton, rayon, spandex or linen can be machine washed. Silk or wool needs a dry cleaner or a decent hand wash with proper soaps.

It's wool. There's leather straps and metal buckles too.

Bro. Does it stink? Are there stains? Is it crusty? If no, then it needs a press.

No to all of the above.

So you think just an ironing and that should be sufficient?

Any dry cleaner can take care of your skirt.

I know you're trying to troll, and I won't give you the reaction you want.

Look, there isn't anything special about a kilt. Most are wool. Any dry cleaner can take care of it.

A kilt is not a skirt, but nice try.
