How to clean a suit

1. Dry cleaning: Dry cleaning is mainly suitable for cleaning a small number of stains.

Before washing, check which parts are contaminated. Then, spray wet with water, put less high-end soap and laundry detergent, and then rinse the soap, laundry detergent and other things after brushing. Otherwise, some patches will appear in some places after they are done. Wash and dry until 70%, prevent it from being on the flat felt surface, then place it flat on top of the clothes to be ironed with some not too dry clean materials, and completely iron the suit with an iron. The cleaner you choose is also important. Its detergent can be used to wash with cylindrical detergents. Do not use towels as mats when ironing, and it is best to choose a cloth that does not fade.

2. Wet wash: When suits are seriously contaminated, they should not be dry cleaned.

Before washing, you must soak in cold water for about half an hour, squeeze out the moisture with a washing machine, and soak in 40℃ neutral laundry detergent (2 spoons per piece) or soap liquid for 20 minutes. Do not soak in hot water or use highly alkaline soap. Take out the clothes and drain them. Pay attention to three or two evenly when brushing, that is, the washing board should be flat, the clothes should be laid flat, the scrubbing should be flat, and the force should be evenly applied.

Scrub focus: Tops are: lapel, front closure, hem, pocket, cuffs and shoulders; trousers are: waist and bags, front and rear trousers sheets and corners. After brushing, put the clothes back into the water and repeat several times, then squeeze out the detergent liquid, wash with 30 grams of vinegar and some warm water, and then wash with cold water. Flatten each part and dry it in a cool place. Do not dry it in heat or direct sunlight.

Whenever you are not wearing a suit, you must take out the things in your pocket and use a fine brush to clean the dust on the clothes clockwise. This not only prevents the suit from discoloring, but also prevents dust from contaminating. If the clothes cannot be registered in time, you can usually fold and store them by folding them. After folding them, store them in a plastic film bag, and you can also store them with mothballs wrapped in clean paper.
