You can't wash, launder, dry clean, or even apply water on silk ties... what CAN you do to keep them clean?

[Phokus]

WTF? So i google up ''how to clean silk ties" and you basically can't do ANYTHING except apply some spot removers if you somehow spill food on your tie or something. W - T - F. How the hell are you supposed to clean silk ties then?

I read a webpage that said you can apply some sort of chemical protection so that if you do spill stuff on your tie, you can get it out easier... unfortunately they don't mention what these products are, or what some brand names are... anyone have a clue?

You can tuck them into your shirt when eating so that you don't get them dirty.

This is the correct answer. Just have them cleaned by professionals.

 

[akshatp]

Dont wear them.

Yeah, I've had silk ties dry cleaned with no problem. Hell, which would you prefer...a tie with a bunch of stains on it or a ruined tie?

What's the point of a silk tie? You don't really spend any time feeling a tie

they look nice. and if you've got a job where wearing a tie is required, professional appearance is probably important.

LOL! So many smart ass answers to this one.

But seriously, if a tie is stained and cannot be professionally cleaned then it is a backup. why do you think a man needs 30 ties?

So he can make it thru february.

Ok, well, hmmm, it seems people are contradicting what i've been reading about using dry cleaners to clean silk ties.

But anyway, is there anything i can spray onto a tie to protect it from stains?

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Scotchguard

 

[Capt Caveman]

Get a job where you don't have to wear ties. That's what I did.

 

[sjwaste]

How the hell are you getting your ties dirty so often that this is a problem?

 

[gooseman]

I've always had them cleaned at the cleaners.

Try to tie a tie that isn't as smooth as silk and look at what you wind up with.

Well how about instead of asking a thousand perfect strangers you go to the god damn dry cleaners and ask the mother fuckers IF THEY CAN CLEAN IT?

Sweet Jesus is everyone here brain damaged?
My pussy hurts. Should I shove a machete in it?
My dog ate poison. Whats the nearest Taco Bell in my area?
My girlfriend hates me. Can I have a cookie?
My girlfriend has a machete in her pussy. Should I sue the dog?


If this place is ever shut down then a lot of pathetic bastards are gonna have to figure out their lives the hard way.

TOO LATE!

Also, ScotchGuard could be used to protect a tie, but I dont think I'd spray it on expensive silk.
