Go out and buy the Woolite dryer sheets. They are dry cleaning at home sheets. I have used them on my suit, DHs suit, work pants, skirts, etc. They work REALLY well. They will make everything fresh and I am pretty sure they remove surface stains as well.
I was going to suggest something similar. Dryel is another at home dry cleaning brand. My BF uses it and it works. I think we bought ours at wally mart but i'm sure you could find it at any store, maybe even the grocery store.
@Krises: yes, you can find them at the grocery store! I don't know if they are Dryel but the Woolite ones are there and I'm pretty sure there is at least another brand...
OP - if you have a Harris Teeter/Safeway/Giant near you, they definitely carry them
This may not help you today, but you may want to look into a clothing steamer. My husband steams all his suits and it works better and faster than an iron. The upright kind usually go for $40 to $50. To freshen, I would just use a Shout wipe for any minor stains, spritz everything lightly with Febreeze (inside and out) and then tumble it in the dryer for 10-15 mins on low.
@PitBulLover: @Krises: I am really nervous to use an at-home dry cleaning thing because I'm afraid it might shrink his already slightly snug suits... but you guys are making me reconsider. Will I still have to iron them after?
@daniellemybelle: no ironing necessary. I wouldn't worry about shrinking. Like I said, I've used it on several suits and haven't had any issues with shrinking and afterwards it looked very non-wrinkly.
I use dryel alllll the time and it definately does not shrink clothes. If you take the clothes out of the dryer right as they are done, you will not have to iron. But if you leave them in there for a long time, they will (I've learned that lesson a few times lol)
I agree with the PP that suggested a steamer. I have one and use it every single day. It is freaking amazing!

I work right by a ZIPS dry cleaners that does in by 9, out by 5, same day dry cleaning. DH has a conference starting tomorrow and wanted to wear two suits that were "dirty" - meaning he has worn them a few times and they might have a couple small spots on them. I meant to take them to the dry cleaners this morning but was running late and missed it :( I feel really bad, especially since this sadly is not the first time this has happened.
I want to freshen them up for him so he can still wear them and not feel like he's wearing dirty clothes. I know suits can be worn over and over without cleaning but he is more particular about it. Anyway, I was thinking I'd toss them in the dryer on air fluff with a couple dryer sheets to make them smell fresh, and then press them. The pressing part is what is making me nervous! I have never ironed a wool suit before, and I found conflicting information online. So I'd really appreciate some tips - thanks!
