Clean too rarely and stains set while fibers grind against grit. Clean more than needed and you’re spending money you don’t have to. Here’s the practical schedule we give customers who ask:
The quick reference
- Suits and blazers: every 3–5 wears, sooner if worn in smoke or heavy humidity. Brush and air them between cleanings.
- Dress shirts: after every wear. Collar and cuff soil sets fast.
- Sweaters and knits: every 2–4 wears — body oils build up even when they look clean.
- Silk and rayon: after each wear for anything against the skin; blouses worn over a layer can go longer.
- Coats: twice a season, plus once before storage. That last one matters most.
- Comforters and bedding: two or three times a year, and any time they’ve been sick-room duty.
The habit that ruins more clothes than dirt
Wearing something “one more time” with a fresh stain on it. Heat from your body and the day’s friction set stains permanently. If something lands on a garment you care about, retire it for the day and point the spot out when you bring it in.
Not sure about a specific piece? Bring it by — an honest answer is free, and sometimes the answer is “this doesn’t need cleaning yet.”
