Suits are an investment, and like most investments they do best on a sensible schedule — not too much attention, not too little. Here’s the guideline our counter team at WaterStone Cleaners gives customers across the Tulsa metro.
For a suit you wear weekly
For a suit you wear weekly: clean it every three to four wears. Body oils, Oklahoma dust, and restaurant smells settle into wool and lining long before they show. If you rotate two or three suits, that works out to a cleaning roughly every three to four weeks per suit.
For an occasional suit
For an occasional suit: clean it after any spill or visible soil, and always before storing it for the season — moths and mildew love a suit put away dirty.
Two habits extend a suit’s life between cleanings: hang it on a wide wooden hanger for a full day after wearing so moisture and odors air out, and brush it down with a clothes brush to lift surface dust. And skip the home iron on suit fabric — a professional press keeps the shape that makes a suit look like a suit.
When it’s time, we make it easy: WaterStone offers free pickup and delivery twice a week in Owasso, Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Jenks, and Bixby — Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday depending on where you are.
