Although the price of some suits is not expensive, it is also a piece of clothing that exceeds 1,000 yuan, so you have to take good care of it, and the following are some of my practical experience for reference only.
Do not wear a suit for more than two days in a row
With the improvement of living standards, everyone has two or three sets of suits, a suit should not be worn continuously for too long, the suit will be deformed due to local force after wearing, and it should be hung up after a period of time, so that it can “rest” properly. And take out the items in the pocket, such as filling the pocket with things and hanging it, the clothes are easy to deform.
Brush your suit often
Soft brushes should be used to eliminate dust adsorbed on clothing and keep clean. Dust is the biggest enemy of suits, which will make the suit lose its freshness, so it is necessary to use a brush to gently brush off the dust, sometimes the suit is stained with other fibers or dust that is not easy to remove, you can use tape paper to absorb it, the effect is very good. If the suit is hung in a slightly humid place, it is also conducive to removing wrinkles on the clothes.
Store with good hangers
It is best to use a wooden hanger or a plastic arc-shaped suit hanger, and the pants can be hung with a clothes and pants hanger, or a special hanger for trousers with clips, align the trouser line, clamp the trouser hem, and hang it upside down. When stored in the wardrobe, the pocket should be filled with insecticide, covered with a cover bag, and often ventilated, and at the same time pay attention to low temperature
The suit must be sent to a high-level dry cleaner for dry cleaning
The washing of the suit is very particular, first of all, it cannot be washed frequently, and at the same time, when it needs to be washed, it must be sent to a high-level dry cleaner for dry cleaning.
A good set of clothes can be worn for a lifetime as long as they are properly maintained. But what does “proper maintenance” mean? Wash it when it is dirty and hot when it is wrinkled? In fact, some dirt and wrinkles can be disposed of without much effort. Excessive cleaning and ironing will deform and become old fibers, color threads, and even shoulder pads, especially the more delicate the clothing, the more it cannot withstand excessive washing and ironing. The following maintenance concepts will help you:
Don’t dry clean suits easily. Generally speaking, a suit is almost washed twice a season.
General smoke smell, kitchen fumes, etc., can be eliminated by hanging in a ventilated place for 24 hours. If the taste is not removed, try hanging it for an extra day or two.
If the above methods are used, the smell and dirt still cannot be removed, and they should be cleaned immediately. As for suits and ties or other valuable clothing, they should be sent to a professional dry cleaner. When sending the laundry, please inform the laundry of the type of dirt and the part that needs special cleaning, so that the staff can clean it with different solvents to achieve the best cleaning effect. If you let your clothes become moldy due to dirt, the gain outweighs the loss.
As for stubborn creases, pay attention to the temperature when ironing. If the temperature is not enough to iron flat, it will damage the fibers and even damage the appearance of the clothes, causing permanent damage. (Remember: linen cotton is used at high temperature; Medium temperature for wool and silk; Artificial fibers use low temperature) It is recommended that you try to iron the back of the clothes, or put a thin cloth between the clothes and the iron, if you are not sure, please send it to a professional.
If it gets stained with oil, juice, cola, coffee, etc., you can use a cotton paper towel to gently press it on the clothes to absorb the juice, and remember to dispose of it immediately after returning home, otherwise the longer the stolen goods are in the fibers, the more difficult it will be to remove them.
