The Right Way to Clean Your Suits (And Why It’s Worth It)

Oct 23

A good suit is more than just a staple in your wardrobe, it’s a symbol of confidence, professionalism, and care. Whether you wear one daily for work or pull it out for special occasions, keeping it clean and well-maintained makes all the difference in how it looks, fits, and lasts.

At Nu-Yale, we specialize in cleaning and pressing suits with expert care.

Why Dry Clean a Suit?

Unlike regular clothes, suits aren’t meant to be tossed in the wash. Their materials, wool, silk, linen, and specialty blends, require precise cleaning methods to protect their shape, texture, and structure. Dry cleaning:

Removes sweat, oils, and odors without shrinking or warping
Protects delicate linings and interlinings
Preserves the integrity of buttons, lapels, and pleats
Extends the life of your garment

Plus, dry cleaning restores that crisp, professional finish you just can’t get at home.

How Often Should You Clean a Suit?

It depends on how often you wear it. Here’s a good rule of thumb:

Once a season if it’s rarely worn
Every 3-5 wears for occasional use
Every 1-2 wears for regular or daily wear

If your suit starts to smell, wrinkle excessively, or feel grimy to the touch, it’s time for a cleaning.
