2. Identify all the stains and scribble them down with a stain pen. Be sure to cover the entire stain with the fluid inside the stain pain.

3. Put your tuxedo shirt inside your washing machine.

4. Switch your washing machine setting to gentle cycle.

5.Check the tag inside your tuxedo shirt to determine what temperature water you should wash it in. Most of the time tuxedo shirts are washed in warm water. However, fabrics like cotton require cold water to keep them from shrinking.

6. Change your washing machine's water temperature to the correct setting.

7. Pour in the amount of laundry detergent that is required for a small load. Check your laundry detergent bottle for the amount to use for a small load.

8. Remove your tuxedo shirt from your washer and hang it up to dry. Do not dry it in your dryer. The hot air will cause your tuxedo shirt to shrink.

9.Gently press your shirt using a steam iron to remove all the wrinkles.
