Q&A: How often should I dry clean my suit?

Yes, we are in the garment cleaning business. And yes, we would love to provide you with more value by frequently cleaning your garments. But, we remain committed to our customers, so let us give you the truth on suit cleaning.

The truth is, the frequency of dry cleaning your suits depends on several factors, such as how often you wear them, the environment in which they are worn, and personal preference. As a general guideline, it is recommended to dry clean your suits every 3-6 months if you wear them regularly. However, if you only wear your suits occasionally or if they are not visibly soiled, you can extend the time between dry cleanings.

Between cleanings, it is vital to properly care for the garments to ensure the longevity of the garments. We have an article that gives you insight on how to care for the suits. Read Suit Care 101: Essential Tips for Maintaining Your Dress Suits Between Dry Cleanings

In the meantime, here are a few tips. Hang them on wooden or padded hangers to maintain their shape and allow them to breathe. Brush off any surface dirt or lint regularly with a clothes brush or lint roller. Spot clean any stains or spills immediately using a mild detergent and a clean cloth. Additionally, consider using garment bags to protect your suits from dust and moisture when storing them.

Ultimately, it's essential to assess the condition of your suits visually and by odor. If they appear dirty, have noticeable stains, or emit unpleasant odors, it's time to take them to the dry cleaner. Remember, professional dry cleaning helps preserve the quality and longevity of your suits, ensuring they look their best for years to come.
