you can send it to the dry cleaners just make sure you tell them about the hand wash only tag.
If you want to make it sure that your tuxedo will not be ruined wash it by yourself or ask somebody to do it for you.here's how to do it: lay it down on a flat surface in your laundry area,wet your tuxedo with plain water, dissolve detergent in a small basin, get a sponge and scrub it with the sponge with the dissolve detergent.you can use a bath soap or any mild soap on the neckline or the collar.rub it with the sponge.If you don't see any dirt anymore,fill the basin with water,hold your tuxedo on the shoulder part,dip in the water and rinse it repeatedly,. if the water is already clear,hang it in a clothes hanger without squeezing,just leave it until the water drips and dry.Iron it.
Also, use Tide To Go sample on stains. The pen-like tool is easy to use. Or, you may also visit this site http://www.upkb.com/tidetogo.php for cleaning tips and product details.
for handwashing anything I use this product called Woolite. They have a Woolite Original for garments in general and then they have a Woolite Dark (I assuming the your tux is black).





I usually hand wash some of my garments in a sink or bath tub full of cold water so that the color does not fade nor ruin the quality. Rinse in cold water and hang to dry.





If the tux tag says hand wash then hand wash it. Just be gentle with it. If you are not sure then go to the cleaners. It shouldn't be that hard though...
hand washing a tux will take you a while and will be heavy when wet, and you need a good strong hanger that will hold the weight and wont leave crease marks. you should let a dry cleaner do the job for you . less hassle and better results.and hand washing garments such as silk,wool use wool lite. it is made especially for hand washed clothing.
