Also, after a little while, cedar blocks tend to lose their scent, meaning you may want to sprinkle a few drops of cedar oil every once in a while to renew them. Just don’t put any oil directly onto your suits as the high concentration will definitely leave a stain and damage the fibers. 

Learn How To Clean Your Suit Correctly

While there is always the option of having your suit dry-cleaned, you really shouldn’t have to do that more than twice a year. In fact, having your suit dry-cleaned too often can actually cause damage and degradation to your suit. Therefore, knowing how to clean your suit in between dry-cleaning sessions is imperative.

First of all, you need to invest in a horsehair brush. Being that prevention is always better than having to deal with a problem, always try to brush over your suit with a horsehair brush after wearing it. Something as short as 60 seconds should suffice. Also, try to invest in a soft-bristled brush so as to not damage the fibers of your suit. Side note, brushing also helps to aid in preventing moths.

In addition to brushing you will also want to learn how to properly steam your suit. Though it doesn’t need to be done every single time you wear it, steaming helps to prevent wrinkles as well as get out certain particle-based stains. Though it won’t help with oil-based stains, some talcum powder should come in handy there. Of course, if none of these solutions help to have your suit stain-free and looking its best, a trip to the dry cleaners will be your best option. 

Conclusion

Overall, caring and maintaining your suit is not as difficult as it may sound. It simply takes the proper knowledge, consideration, and time. Once you get in the hang of caring for your suits, it will seem a lot less daunting and time-consuming. Plus, the joy you will get from having a timeless suit that looks its best for years to come will be more than worth it.
