For those of you that wear suits to work: how often do you get your slacks dry-cleaned?

Well? I'm finding that I can get by with a single set of slacks for a week, maybe three sets for two weeks.

Dry clean infrequently; instead spot clean. This will extend the life of dry clean only clothing. Dry clean all pieces of an outfit together as the chemicals used in the process can sometimes cause color changes.

Store your suits in a cloth garment bag as opposed to plastic; plastic can cause color change.

I just use a damp lint-free cloth and gently wipe the stain out.
