Washing a suit at home might sound risky, but with the right care, it can save you time and money — especially for suits like the Infinity Suit designed for machine washing.
Here’s how to do it properly:
- Check the Label: Always start by reading the care label on your suit. If it says “machine washable,” you’re good to go.
- Use a Gentle Cycle: Set your washing machine to a delicate or wool cycle with cold water. Hot water can damage the fabric and shrink the suit.
- Use a Mild Detergent: Choose a detergent made for delicate fabrics or wool. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners.
- Protect Your Suit: Place your suit inside a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction and protect buttons and seams.
- Skip the Spin: If possible, skip the spin cycle or set it to the lowest speed to avoid damaging the fibers.
- Dry Carefully: Never put your suit in the dryer. Hang it on a wide, padded hanger to air dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Iron if Needed: Use a steam iron on a low setting or a handheld steamer to remove wrinkles gently.
