The post-purchase costs of buying quality menswear can be eye-watering, from dry cleaners bills to the cobblers. There are expenses at every corner. Though, if we take better care of the items we buy, we can help to alleviate some of these. Prolonging the life of your treasured garments while keeping them presentable by using a clothes brush is one way to do it. This humble tool gives a deeper, more effective clean than a lint roller. Thus, removing dust and debris that negates the need to visit the dry cleaners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using a clothes brush effectively on your favourite suit<\/a> takes a few minutes. And yes, this is an additional step before you step out the door or put the suit back in the evening. But, it can be invaluable care when compared to dry cleaners. No matter how eco-friendly a dry cleaner claims, chemicals are still at play. These chemicals will reduce a wool suit's colour vibrancy and fabric<\/a> structure. An extra couple of minutes of clothes brushing doesn't sound too much to protect your wallet and garments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Crafted with natural or synthetic bristles, the clothes brush or \"suit brush\" typically has a wooden handle. Similar to something you might find in a shoe shine kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Natural fibres like boar or horse hair are the optimum choice. They have a greater bristle movement resulting in a softer brush than a synthetic bristle alternative. We aren't doing the washing up here. Our tools should be gentle but effective. Boar and horse hair also have antibacterial qualities that help keep your clothing cleaner and fresher in between washes by inhibiting bacteria growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Is A Clothes Brush?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
