Do I need to clean my costume or tuxedo after using it?

Reasonable wear to the items are to be expected and accepted. We will clean the item when it is returned. If items require additional scrubbing there will be a $25.00 scrubbing fee. If we are unable to get an item clean it will be considered damaged. DO NOT try to clean the item yourself. Some tuxedos and costumes require special cleaning procedures and may be damaged by incorrect cleaning.

Your tuxedo pants will come unhemmed. Please make sure that the tuxedo pants do not drag on the ground. The best way to do this is with a single stitch that can be removed. DO NOT USE DOUBLE SIDED TAPE.
