Title: where do you get your kilts cleaned ?
Post by: Your Grace on April 06, 2009, 09:00:29 AM
I need to get my kilt cleaned and I don't want to take to a dry cleaner that does not know what they are doing.  Any help would be great! Thanks. ???

I've used a dry cleaner for mine many times... never a problem yet
Best part is watching them try to figure out what category to charge you under lol

*rum stains come right out btw*

Maybe I need to be more specific in my question.  I am looking for a specific uncleaner in the Dallas area.

When I took my laird husband's kilt to the local cleaners in Bowie, TX, they had the audacity to charge us for a "skirt"!!  LOL!!!  I don't suppose they get too many kilts in these here parts.  However, they did a good job.

My local drycleaner doesn't have a "kilt" selection on their system, but a pleated skirt pretty much fits the bill. Now they even know how to press the various border patches.

Dapper Dan is pretty good about keeping the pleats.

We've been advised tht basting the pleats in place first will insure that the dry cleaner presses the pleats properly.
