So you’ve got an awesome tie subscription with Spiffster Tie Club. You’re building your tie collection now, but how do you make sure you keep your ties in the best shape possible? Here’s a few tips on how to keep your neck ties looking their best:
Don’t wear them out. Though we all have our favorites, the best way to keep your ties in tip-top shape is to have a rotation. This will help them last longer and keep them from looking over-worn.
Be careful when ironing. You don’t want to damage your ties with too much heat. Use a press cloth if you have one, and be sure to iron on the wrong side of the fabric.
Get rid of wrinkles. If your tie has wrinkles, there are a few ways you can get rid of them. Hang your tie up in the bathroom while you shower to let the steam loosen the fabric. You can also try using an iron on low heat or placing a damp towel over the wrinkled area and then ironing it. Whatever you do, just be careful not to damage the fabric.
Store them properly. Hang your neck ties on a tie rack or in an organizer. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from getting wrinkled.
Don’t over-wear them. If you wear a neck tie too often, it will start to show signs of wear and tear. Give your ties a break in between wearings to prolong their life.
Be careful when cleaning them. Neck ties are delicate items and should be treated as such when cleaning them. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents as this can damage the fabric. Instead, opt for a gentle, hand-washing method.
By following these simple tips, you can help keep your neck ties looking their best for years to come. Good luck fellow Spiffster!
