How to Properly Wash and Dry Custom Suits

Perfect Suits!

Many people have a lot of suits, but they don’t really know how to care for them. It’s essential to take care of them so they last longer and don’t get damaged. If you want to know how to wash and care for your custom suits, follow these simple steps:

How to Wash a Suit

When it comes to how to wash suits, there is a specific way to do it which is washing them in cold water and then drip-drying them after. You can also put them in the dryer for a few minutes to remove any dampness. It’s important to hang the suits outside to air-dry so they can’t stretch out and lose their original shape. If you’re not sure how to hang them, you can use a suit hanger, which is a wooden board with eyelets that are the right size for your suits. It’s a good idea to hang your suits in the shade to lengthen their lifespan.

How to Dry Your Suits

Dry suits on a towel that is not too thin or too coarse. If the suit is too tight, it will not be able to air-dry properly which will lead to shrinkage and pilling. If you’re not sure how much a towel is too thin or too coarse, you can always ask an expert like a tailor or a dry cleaner for the right kind. The best way to ensure that your suits dry properly is by hanging them outside to air-dry. When it comes to drying suits, it’s best to use a sunny day with no wind. When your suits are dry, they should have no dampness or rain spots. If you are not sure how long it takes your suits to dry, you can always leave them to air-dry overnight.
