If you’re like most people, you probably spend a lot of time at home trying to tie your own tie. But if you’re a professional, you know that taking care of your silk ties is important. Not only do they need to be tied properly every day, but they also need to be stored in a cool place, so they don’t turn into a pile of rags. So how do you make sure your silk ties stay looking beautiful and fresh all year round? Here are some easy tips for making sure your solid silk tie stay looking great:
PRE-SHRINK YOUR TIES
One of the most important things you can do to keep your silk ties looking great all year round is to pre-shrink them. This will ensure that they don’t go bad as quickly and that they stay in good shape all year long. By shrinking the ties, you’ll also make sure they’re not too large or too small. You can also freeze or dry them before you tie them so they’re ready to go when you need them.
LET THEM AIR-DRY
One of the most important things to do when taking care of your silk ties is to let them air-dry. This will help them stay looking their best all year round. Not only will the tie be dryer and more flexible, but it will also help prevent them from deteriorating over time.
If you must tie your ties while they’re still wet, use a low-temp heat treatment: pour some water onto hot iron and then place the tie on top. The heat will cause the water to break down the weave, giving you a more flexible and perforated tie.
STORE THEM IN A COOL PLACE
One of the most important things you can do to keep your silk ties looking great all year round is to store them in a cool place. Not only will this help them stay look fresh, but it will also help them last longer.
KNEAD IT UP ONCE A WEEK
To keep your ties looking their best, it’s important to knead them up once a week. This will help to remove any wrinkles or dirt that may have built up over time.
CONCLUSION
A good solid silk tie should never be let go of. Not only will it look better after a few weeks, but it will also last longer.
