CLEANING SUSPENDERS

Today we are going to talk about cleaning suspenders. We get a lot of calls about how to clean and care for your suspenders. So we put a section on our website just at the top right of all the pages where you can click to read more about it.

The question we get all the time is: "Can I wash my suspenders?"

The answer is Yes, but the type of washing and care differs based on the type of suspenders that you have. And the keyword for caring for all the suspenders is "gentle". Basically, you want to do it as little washing as possible.

First, let's talk about the most common suspenders, which are elastic suspenders. Most suspenders are all elastic. You can wash them, but you need to be as gentle as possible. What you want to do is:

  1. Put them in a mesh bag
  2. Wash them on gentle cycle. By hand would be even better.
  3. Use cool water, not hot.
  4. Mild detergent, no bleach.
  5. Air dry, NO DRYER

We have found that Tide pens (or similar products) work well for small spots.

You can take silk and cloth suspenders, to a professional dry cleaner. For leather suspenders, there are leather care products on the market. We like Feibings.com.

That is a brief summary of how to clean your suspenders.
