How do you clean a tie?

[bbernardini]

I'm wearing a South Park tie I haven't worn in ages, and I noticed that the stains are not part of the design. Is there some sort of method or specific product for cleaning ties?

1. I usually get it dry-cleaned

4. Try to find a dry cleaner who's good with ties,

preferably having them try to spot clean it where the stains are rather than clean the whole thing.

Every tie I have dry cleaned loses its shape and ability to drape nicely shortly thereafter. I've nearly reached the point where, upon finding a tie I really like, I'd buy two.

2. I think most are dry clean only...

but a South Park tie?
who knows...

3. Cold water and woolite

let soak - hang to dry - iron
