Guide for Properly Caring
for a Suit

Wearing a pristine business suit
makes a good first impression
whether going in for a job interview
or securing a contract with a
prominent client.
While this makes common sense, it is
not possible to rush out and purchase
a crisp new suit every time a special
occasion arises.
So how do you keep your favorite
suits looking, feeling (and smelling)
their best?
We have some information that will
help you ensure your suit fulfills your
highest expectations for looking and
feeling its best at all times.
How Often to Dry Clean a Suit
There is no one-size-fits-all approach
to answering the age-old question as
to how often you should have your
suit dry cleaned.
There are several factors that
determine the amount of time that
should pass before sending these
garments out for cleaning services.
Experts suggest that you have dry
cleaning services performed as little
as possible to keep the fabric intact
and prevent stretching or misshaping
from occurring. So, what does all this
mean?
Well, it is recommended that a
business suit you do not wear often be
cleaned only once or twice a year.
This will remove dirt, dust, stains and
odors from becoming locked into the
fibers and depleting the life of the suit
overall. Obviously, this amount of
time between cleanings will not be
sufficient if you wear the suit two or
three times a week.
While you don’t want to over do it,
suits worn regularly should be
cleaned more often. It is acceptable to
have regular wardrobe attire dry
cleaned approximately once a month.
Please note that if your clothing is the
victim of stains or strong odors, they
should be taken to the cleaners as
soon as possible to prevent set-in
problems from occurring.
Make sure you let the dry cleaner
know what has caused the stain so
they can get to work quickly to
remove it without delay.
Choosing the Right Dry Cleaner
for the Job
Choosing a dry cleaner for handling
the cleaning of your business suits
should not be something you take
lightly.
The individual should have the
experience needed for providing
expert services even when you run
into problems with your suits being
stained.
You should always ask your dry
cleaner plenty of questions until you
gain that confidence that the
individual does have the ability to
deliver services that meet or exceed
your expectations.
With the amount of time and money
you have invested into your business
wardrobe, you do deserve that peace
of mind.
While most dry cleaners recycle their
dry cleaning solvent, you can ask that
the dry cleaner use virgin solution on
your clothing.
This will prevent any residual dirt or
bacteria that may be left from other
clothing from becoming deposited
onto your garments.
This is perfectly acceptable to do and a
professional dry cleaning service will
accommodate your requests.
What Is Dry Cleaning Exactly?
So why not just throw those suits in
the washing machine? I mean, it
would be quicker and more
convenient, right? Wrong.
Suits have that fresh pressed look
because of the materials used to craft
them.
These fabrics most often include wool,
cashmere, polyester, cotton, silk and
linen.
Due to the delicate handling
instructions included on the
garments, it is important to prevent
them from being washed with
detergents and water, as this can
cause the fibers to break down and
deteriorate the pristine look your suit
was intended to have.
Dry cleaning utilizes waterless based
solvents that won’t break through the
fibers to remove stains, dirt and odors.
Garments are placed in an agitation
machine similar to a traditional
washing machine.
However, instead of water being
added, the cleaning solvent is slowly
applied.

Once removed, the clothing is
steamed and pressed to restore that
professional look and feel.
Tips for Suit Care Between Dry
Cleaning Visits
There are some things you can do to
keep your suits and business
garments looking fresh between dry
cleaning visits. Here are some tips
that will help.
Remove dry cleaning bags.
Your dry cleaner will cover your
garments in a plastic bag to keep them
free of dirt and odors when returning
them to you.
Make sure this bag is removed once
you get the garments home to prevent
condensation, spots, and odors from
occurring due to stagnant air.
Steam cleaners work wonders.
Remove wrinkles with a steam
cleaner set at the lowest heat setting
possible. This will offer a freshly
pressed look without the added
expense.
Keep your suits rotated.
If you don’t wear your suits or
business garments often, make sure
you rotate them.
This will keep your whole wardrobe
looking crisp and fresh while
maximizing the life of your clothing.
Remove dirt and dust.
Use a soft brush to remove any dirt or
dust that may accumulate on your
business garments between dry
cleaning services. This will prevent
discoloration and odors from
occurring.
Keep your garments hung up.
This will prevent creasing and
wrinkles from setting into the fabric
and causing your suits and business
attire from losing its desired shape.
Keep your garments covered
with a cloth cover.
This offers the ability for air to
circulate around your clothing to
prevent accidents or spotting from
occurring.
