Dry Cleaning Suits and Shirts at Home with Dryel: DO or DON’T?
I have been watching some videos about Dryel and how could be saving you on dry cleaning and I’m wondering if is recommended for suits and dry clean only shirts? Are you really saving money or just wasting your clothes when it comes to suits and dry clean only shirts?
How about cleaning a regular shirt with Dryel in your dryer, will prolong your shirt’s life rather then normal machine washing?
I’m sure there are other dry-cleaning at home products, I just know this one.
I’ve never used it myself, but I notice that almost all the discussion about using it refers to sweaters, dresses, and a lot of lighter women’s clothing rather than men’s suits. I’d need to be really sure it wasn’t going to change the texture or surface of my wool before I through a good worsted or flannel suit in with it.
Dry cleaning shouldn’t be such a big bite out of your budget that it’s worth potentially damaging an expensive suit. You don’t need to dry clean every time you wear a suit or anything — just hang it with a bit of space to either side so it can air out, and only dry clean if it’s starting to gather odor (or if you stain it, of course, in which case obviously get it to a cleaner ASAP.)

LikeDislikeThat begs the question, though: How often should you dry clean your suit (assuming no stains). I don’t think relying one smell is the best way to do it, because if you can smell it then it’s probably already overdue.
