Dry cleaning your clothes is one of those things we probably don’t do enough – just like washing our cars or flossing our teeth (guilty). But the truth is, your clothes will thank you when you dry clean them more regularly, giving them a longer life, a more pleasant scent and a brighter, cleaner look. In this post, we’ll discuss when’s the perfect time to dry clean your clothes.
When they’re ready to be cleaned
Simple enough, right? After your clothes have been worn and they’re noticeably in need of a clean, it’s time to dry clean them. Garments like golf pants and linen shirts get dirty and sweaty quite easily, so it’s best to dry clean them after one wear. With other, less-worn garments like wool suits, sweaters, pants and other shirts may be less susceptible to getting dirty and can be worn three times without needing a dry clean – unless of course they’ve become stained.
Stained clothes
When a garment has been stained, it’s important to get it dry cleaned as soon as possible. Some stains simply won’t come out by putting the garment in the washing machine, so it’s time to call a top notch dry cleaner. The biggest mistake that people make when their shirt or pants get a stain is to leave it in the wardrobe for a few weeks. Stains can oxidise in this period of time, making it impossible for them to be removed. Get the stains out within a week by taking your clothes to the dry cleaner.
When the clothing says ‘dry clean only’
Plenty of clothes tell you to ‘dry clean only’ on their tags. Always read the label of your clothes before deciding how to wash them and if they say ‘dry clean only’, then follow that advice! You don’t want to risk ruining a piece of clothing by shrinking it or fading its colour when putting it in the wash.
When you want your clothes to look extra fantastic
Want your clothes to look absolutely faultless? Dry cleaning them is the way to go. It’s especially important to look presentable if you have a job where this is required. Suits, business shirts and pants are all garments that should be dry cleaned frequently.
When you’ve got a special event coming up
There’s no better feeling than turning up to a special event in a freshly dry-cleaned outfit. You feel confident, you look stunning and your clothes do too! Dry cleaning for an event is one of the most popular reasons to dry clean your clothes.
