Proper Care of Uniforms

White Dress Shirts: you are expected to wash shirts after each use, treating all stains and armpit areas as needed. They can be washed and dried in your machines at home. Hang them up immediately after drying to minimize ironing.

Jacket & Pants: DRY CLEAN ONLY. Do not wash in your machines at home. Tuxedos that have been machine washed are easy to spot. They will be “damaged out” and students will need to purchase a new one. We'll collect the tuxes at the end of the year for dry cleaning. If they need to be laundered in the meantime, please take to a reputable dry cleaner. Do not iron directly on the pants and jacket fabric. If they wrinkle, you can steam or iron them by placing a piece of cloth between the iron and the tuxedo fabric.

Dresses: may be washed separately on a delicate cycle and dried on low heat. Hang them up immediately after drying to minimize ironing. Do not iron directly on the dress. If they wrinkle, you can steam or iron them by placing a piece of cloth between the iron and the dress fabric. DO NOT ALTER THE DRESS IN ANY WAY. If hemming is needed, please contact the uniform coordinator.
