Removing Stains From Your Favorite Neckties

The secrets to keeping your neck ties like new

It happens to us all. No matter how careful you are, no matter what precautions you take, at some point you WILL spill something on your favorite necktie.

And because most quality ties are made from silk (the most unforgiving of natural fabrics) that stain will permanently ruin your tie.

Using over the counter stain removers on silk can make things go from bad to worse and even damage the silk, turning your favorite (and expensive) silk tie into a dish rag.

The best advice we can offer is to take your stained tie to a dry cleaner who Mens Fashionizes in stain removal, and ask for suggestions.

But DO NOT dry clean it unless you absolutely must - because though dry cleaning is almost guaranteed to remove the stain, it will also remove the sheen and silky feel of the silk fabric. (And that's why you bought it right?)

Foods with a heavy alkaloid content like tomato sauces and catsup, coffee, mustard and chocolate are not going to come out of silk 9 times out of 10 regardless what you do.

So the best defense is a strong offense when it comes to protecting your ties in the first place.

Remove your tie if possible before you eat, or at least make sure that you cover it when dining.
