    Default Cleaning a Barbour-style Oil-skin Duster

    Got a friend who needs to clean mildew off his duster....

    Oil-skin duster.

    Barbour says wash it in a machine and kiss yer water proofness good bye forever...

    Any thoughts on how to clean it???

    They talk about some Milton soap or what ever that is....

    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

    Spray it with cirtus based cleaner and use a tooth brush to scrub off the mildew from both sides.
