Dry cleaning may seem like a simple step in your routine — but it quietly costs you time, money, and even damages your clothes and the planet over time. In this article, we’ll break down the real cost of dry cleaning a suit, and why choosing a machine-washable suit might be the smartest decision you can make.
How Often Should You Dry Clean a Suit?
It depends on how often you wear it — but even occasional use adds up:
• Daily wear: Once every 1–2 weeks
• Office use: Once a month
• Occasional use: Once every few months
The more you wear your suit, the more dry cleaning becomes a costly habit.
Average Dry Cleaning Costs in Europe
Dry cleaning a two-piece suit in Europe typically costs between €12 and €25 per session, depending on your city and the cleaner’s quality. Let’s assume an average of €18 per clean.
Even if you only clean it once a month, that’s €216 per year — just for one suit.
Hidden Costs Most People Don’t Think About
🕒 Time Lost
You’ll need to drop it off and pick it up — even if it’s just a short trip, it adds up. With a full-time job, time is money.
🚗 Transport or Delivery Fees
Some opt for pick-up services, but those come with extra costs — or you’re using fuel and time yourself.
🌍 Environmental Impact
Dry cleaning uses chemical solvents and large amounts of energy. Most local cleaners still use PERC, a substance harmful to water and soil.
👔 Wear on Fabric
Ironically, frequent dry cleaning slowly damages your suit. Harsh solvents weaken fibres and dull finishes over time.
