The first step in removing mud stains from a tuxedo is to make sure you have the right supplies. You will need a damp cloth, some dish soap, and white vinegar, as well as a toothbrush for scrubbing out the stain. To begin, lightly dampen the cloth and place a small drop of dish soap on it. Rub the cloth over the stained area on the tuxedo to pre-treat stain.
Once the pre-treatment has been done, pour a small amount of white vinegar onto the cloth and start scrubbing the area gently with the toothbrush. Be sure to use a circular scrubbing motion and don’t press too hard. You want the material of the tuxedo to remain undamaged. Once you have worked the stain for a few minutes, it should come out.
If the stain persists, you can try using more dish soap and white vinegar on the cloth, and continue to scrub until the stain starts to fade away. If the stain still won’t budge, you may want to try using a commercial spot cleaner or take the tuxedo to a dry cleaner to get stain removed professionally.
Depending on how long the stain has been there and how set in it is, it may take a few attempts to remove it completely. Try not to be discouraged, as patience and persistence will usually pay off in the end.
