How Often Should You Dry Clean a Suit?
A good suit can usually go several wears between cleanings when it still looks and smells fresh. Cleaning too often can be unnecessary, while waiting too long can let stains and odors settle in.
1Clean it when it actually needs it
Bring your suit in when you notice a stain, odor, heavy wear, or before putting it away for a long stretch. If it still looks fresh after a light wear, airing it out may be enough.
2Give it a break between wears
Hang your suit on a sturdy hanger and let it air out before putting it back in the closet. Rotating between suits also gives the fabric time to recover.
3Do not ignore small stains
Food, drinks, and body oils can become harder to remove over time. Point out any spots when you drop the suit off so they can be treated properly.
4Before seasonal storage
Cleaning a suit before long-term storage helps keep old stains and odors from sitting in the fabric for months.
