HaHaHa.... The government could care less and your totally dreaming this up! It’s not illegal just against the rules in some series. There are plenty of series on dirt and asphalt that allow soaking with a durometer rule. BTW isn't this about needling anyway ?
Most suit companies recommend the you DO NOT dry clean your suits . The chemicals are abrasive and are usually flammable . They most recommend washing them with a mild detergent like Woolite and hang dry are use a dry dryer on a low setting with no other item in the dryer with the suit .
