To keep your ties in fashionable condition, you should always untie the
knot. Leaving the knot tied while not wearing it may cause permanent wrinkles. When
untying, reverse the tying procedure. Do not pull the small end through the knot. Always
hang your ties on a covered hanger or on a tie rack designed for the purpose.
Cleaning treatment
A really good dry cleaner will have the ability to clean and press a silk tie to perfection.
The real secret behind a professional cleaning and pressing of a tie is the board,
which is fashioned in the shape of a tie. This board is inserted into the tie through
the opening at the bottom. Once in position, the tie is pinned in place at the sides
to hold its shape. Pressed this way, the tie doesn't flatten or show any seams, so
it regains the supple look it had when brand-new.
Water spots
Let the spot dry, then rub the small end of the tie on the spot or gently scrape the
surface with a fingernail.
