How to

1. Undo the knot gently rather than yanking the narrow end through a tight knot. Fully open the tie after taking it off.
2. Read the material and cleaning symbols. Silk, wool, cotton and linen ties may not share the same water and heat instructions.
3. If food or drink has spilled, blot gently with a dry clean cloth instead of rubbing. Ask a professional about major stains or a delicate silk tie.
4. When clean and dry, choose loose rolling in a drawer or tie box, or a tie rack, only as your maker allows. The Tie Bar describes both methods; the cited Hermès silk tie specifies flat storage.
5. When rolling, leave enough room so the fabric is not compressed into a sharp fold. When hanging, avoid snagging it on neighboring clothes and watch for stretching over time.
6. Keep it away from sunlight and humidity. For creases, first try hanging or a loose rest roll as appropriate. Consider steaming only when the material and manufacturer's directions permit; never press a hot iron directly onto silk.

One more tip

Storage rules are not identical across brands: The Tie Bar describes loose rolling or hanging, while Hermès specifies flat and untied storage for the cited silk tie. Check your product's instructions before steaming or treating stains.
