How to Clean a Necktie

Necktie Cleaning: A necktie is something that is not usually cleaned all the time, and this is mainly the reason why people do not know where to begin. It is very simple, but there are some precautions.

First you should never rub a stain on a necktie; rubbing will always cause the stain to grow. Also try and catch the stain immediately; letting the stain dry will almost guarantee permanent damage. Also like cleaning a tie, make sure you identify the material of the neck tie. In addition, be sure to look on the necktie for any cleaning instructions. It is recommended that you follow these instructions to assure you have done a good cleaning job.

The first method is to start by filling a sink or bucket with cold water, and filling it proportionately with detergent specifically for wool. Then use safety pins to pin the flaps back. Then after this step put the ties in the water and let them sit for about three minutes. After that have soaked wring the soapy water out the neckties. Treat the neckties with care and do not be forceful while wringing them out. If there are tougher stains, use a SOFT toothbrush to gently scrub the infected area. After you have wrung out your neckties, empty the bucket and fill it with clean cold water. Once this step is complete rinse the neckties out by sloshing them around until they are completely rinsed of all soap. Then, just like the previous step, wring them out gently and place them on a towel. After you have placed them on a towel, roll the towel and squeeze out any remaining water.

Once you are satisfied with your drying, hang the ties to dry. After they dry, they will be slightly wrinkly, but it's ok. All you have to do is take an iron on low heat to remove the wrinkles. Neckties are fashionable and trendy.
