Like any dress suit, a tuxedo should be dry-cleaned only, however, not too often to minimize the impact of the chemicals used in the process — they usually tend to dry out the natural moisture of a suit’s fabric and consequently reduce its lifespan.
Since tuxedos are for formal black-tie events it is better to make sure everything is cleaned and repaired as necessary soon after each use.
Dry cleaning is necessary to protect fabrics that would be damaged by the heat or water of your traditional washer and dryer and to remove stains that are not removed by a “wet” cleaning process, such as grease and oil.
Heat and water can damage the tuxedo’s fabric by altering its structure during the washing process. As such, dry cleaning is the most appropriate cleaning method for the delicate fabric that shouldn’t be treated with water.
