Clothing Care Cost
Clothing care costs add up quickly, especially with regular dry cleaning.
Monthly Cost = Items per Month × Price per Item
Annual Cost = Monthly Cost × 12
Typical dry cleaning prices (varies by city):
- Shirt/blouse: $3–7
- Suit (2-piece): $10–20
- Dress: $8–15
- Coat/jacket: $10–25
- Pants/trousers: $5–10
Money-saving tips:
- Spot-clean stains instead of full dry cleaning
- Air out garments between wears — many items do not need cleaning after every use
- Use a steamer instead of ironing
- Hand wash “dry clean only” items that are silk or wool (test a small area first)
- Look for eco-friendly or discount dry cleaners
