It is also worth it to go to a dry cleaner who is accustomed to dealing with bespoke suits. Throughout the year, airing out your suits and simply spot cleaning with a damp cloth are a great way to take care of them.
A suit also needs to be regularly brushed to ensure it looks its best. It also helps to remove dust and to redistribute the natural oils in the fabric's fibers which prolongs the life of your suit. Use a high quality, pure bristle brush and it is recommended to brush your suit after every use. Besides brushing a lint roller might also be helpful, for small dust, hair etc. it is enough to roll over your suit. To remove wrinkles, use a steam press on low heat and hang the suits up regularly on appropriate hangers. It is advised to use a wide hanger as it supports the shoulders.
