Dry Cleaning Men's Suits - When & How Often to Dry Clean Your 2 Piece Mens Suit

About this video

Centeno explains that suits should only be dry cleaned when actually dirty, rather than on a fixed schedule. He teaches several maintenance techniques—brushing, steaming, spot cleaning, and sponge pressing—that can extend the time between dry cleaning visits from weekly to monthly or longer.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues dry cleaning should only be done when necessary, as jackets don’t contact the body directly if worn with a shirt underneath
• Centeno recommends daily brushing with a suit brush after wearing, which he claims can extend cleaning intervals by two to three times
• Centeno suggests alternatives like steaming, spot cleaning, and sponge pressing to maintain suits between dry cleaning visits
• Centeno warns against ironing jackets directly and recommends using a white cloth barrier and lower heat settings to avoid damaging fibers
