Does that mean you’ll never clean your kilt accessories, buckles etc?
Most interesting. A basic question results in different views. I guess it depends upon your particular view point. Mine was that people acquire an item due to its looks at the time of acquisition and probably wish to maintain that pleasing initial picture. I must admit I err to the wash it to get rid of any dirt and then use of a specialised cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals. I think I know now what I will go for. Thanks as ever for your views.
