Care
Cleaning
A grenadine silk tie should not be washed immersed in water as doing so can ruin the texture and color of the silk. Instead, spot clean your tie using the following steps.
Gently blot any excess substance from the stain with a soft, dry cloth. Do not rub as this can damage the fabric.
Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild detergent specifically designed for silk.
Dip a corner of a clean, white cloth into the solution and test it on a hidden area of the tie to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration.
If the test is successful, lightly dab the stained area with the dampened cloth. Use a gentle tapping motion and do not saturate the silk.
Moisten another clean cloth with plain lukewarm water and gently dab the area to remove any soap residue.
Pat the cleaned area with a dry cloth to absorb moisture, then leave the tie laid flat on a towel to air dry completely.
If the stain does not respond to the these steps, take the tie to a professional dry cleaner experienced in handling silk garments.
Wrinkle Removal
To remove wrinkles, never iron the tie directly as high heat can ruin the silk. Use a steamer or the iron's steam setting while keeping the iron at least a few inches away from the fabric.
Rotation
Silk fibers need to recover after being tied, so rotate your ties allowing them to rest between wears.
Storage
To prevent heavy creasing, never store your neck wear tied or knotted.
Undo the knot and then roll the necktie up in a firm but not excessively tight coil.
Allow it to sit in the coil for about a day to relax wrinkles.
To prevent wrinkles, store your silk tie hanging or in a very loose roll.
