Dry Clean Your Clothes for Wedding Season

Many couples choose the spring and summer seasons to tie the knot because of the favorable weather conditions during this time of the year. If you receive a wedding invitation or two this year, you certainly don’t want to get caught off-guard by not having anything clean and fresh to wear. That’s why it’s a good idea to take your formal clothes to your favorite San Rafael drying cleaner to make sure you have a suit or dress to wear that’s clean and pressed.
 
Once you’ve gotten your more formal clothes dry cleaned, you’d probably like to know how often you should dry clean the other clothing items in your wardrobe.It’s important to know that even though dry cleaning is a great way to keep your clothes in tip-top shape, not every item in your wardrobe needs to be cleaned after each wear. To help you decide when it’s time to visit your dry cleaner in the future, we’ve explained when certain types of clothing need to be professionally dry cleaned.

Business & Formal Suits

Since suits don’t come into direct contact with your skin, it’s not necessary to dry clean them each time you wear them. That being said, there are some differences between business and formal suits.

​Since business suits are worn regularly, they should be dry cleaned after four to five wears to keep them fresh and clean. Considering that more formal suits are only worn for special occasions like weddings, they should be dry cleaned once a season or after each wear.

Dresses, Pants, & Skirts

Dresses, pants, and skirts should be dry cleaned after four to five wears. However, if these items are made of a stain-repellent material, they can be worn a few more times before taking them to the dry cleaners. To keep dresses, pants, and skirts well cared for, they should be hung up and air-dried once they’ve been worn.

​Buttoned Shirts & Blouses

​Shirts and blouses with buttons are worn closely against the skin to absorb sweat. This means these items need to dry cleaned after three to four wears. Shirts or blouses made of silk should be dry-cleaned after each wear.
