Often light brushing and airing are better than dry cleaning.<\/p>\n<h2>Dry clean only when needed<\/h2>\n<p>Excessive dry cleaning wears the fabric. Take the suit to the cleaner if it has a stain, odour does not air out or the fabric is clearly dirty.<\/p>\n<h2>Use the right hanger<\/h2>\n<p>A wide wooden hanger supports the shoulder better than a thin metal hanger.
