Caring for Your Suit
Introduction
Investing in a suit is a significant expense, so taking proper care of it is essential to ensure its longevity and maintain its appearance. Here’s a guide to help you keep your suit looking sharp and pristine.
Proper Hanging
One of the first steps in suit care is using the right hanger. Cheap hangers can cause permanent puckering in the shoulders of your suit jacket. Opt for high-quality wooden or padded hangers specifically designed for suits to keep them well-shaped.
Preventing Moth Damage
Wool suits are particularly vulnerable to moth damage. While a cedar-lined closet is ideal, not everyone has access to one. If that's the case, consider alternatives like airtight storage bags to keep moths at bay. Avoid mothballs due to their strong scent, which can linger on your suit.
Cleaning and Storage
Before storing a suit you only wear seasonally, such as a lightweight summer suit, ensure it is properly cleaned. Even if it appears clean, invisible sweat stains and skin flakes can attract pests. A pre-storage cleaning can prevent this issue.
Home Cleaning Options
While professional dry cleaning is often necessary, there are convenient at-home options:
1. Home Dry Cleaning Kits: These kits freshen up your suit without deep cleaning. Be cautious with wool suits to avoid shrinkage.
2. Spot Cleaning: Test spot removers on an inconspicuous area first. Instead of rubbing, blot stains and rinse with cold water to protect the fabric.
3. Odor Removal: If your suit has an unpleasant odor and needs to be worn soon, hang it in the bathroom while running a hot shower. This can help neutralize the smell by the next day.
Pressing Your Suit
Don’t shy away from pressing your suit yourself. Utilize the steam setting and always press it from the inside to prevent the wool from becoming shiny.
By following these tips, you can keep your suit looking its best for years to come, ensuring your investment is well-protected.
