HAL9000 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Silk tie - virtually impossible to iron back to pristine condition. Dry clean only. If that don't work, chuck it.

HAL9000 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Acrylic, you say? Ahem. In that case, steam it in a rice cooker for 15 minutes then flatten it out with a rolling pin. Simples!

Mick Mac Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 how did you clean it wolf? Ironing is surely the least of your problems but for ironing id suggest a tea towel over the tie.?

david_carnell Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 An acrylic tie? Sir, its crumpled appearance is the least of your worries. Throw it away and start again properly. With silk. Woven, not printed. In a sombre colour. There, isn't that better?

dulwichmum Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Couldn't you purchase a super swishy tie from your club to impress the judge? He may even be hoping to become a member himself. Although clearly this will only work if you can ensure he will not be blackballed at The Garrick, Spearmint Rhino doesn't have the same kudos!

Jah Lush Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 What is it with ties? I always feel like I'm being strangled when forced to wear one. Horrible things.

HAL9000 wrong...how can it be?...ha ha ha ha...never thought I'd see that in my lifetime...ha ha ha...better get your wiring checked liebe Roboter...ha ha ha ha haSeriously, I first spot-clean all hubby's silk ties with a stain remover, then wash them in the washing machine (sensitive programme - for silks), drip dry them, manually put them back into shape, and finally iron them covered over with a clean damp tea-towel. Good as new every time!You've made my day though!

Roll Deep Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Or place in office desk for those fridays where the late afternoon drinking tomfoolery has got out of hand to the extent you've been challenged to Karate chop a desk in half.

Yes I did, didn't I!> Seriously, [cringe-inducing washing details snipped]. Good as new every time! No chance! The silk will have lost its shine and the tie's beautifully rolled edges will have been ironed flat. It might look OK to you but it wouldn't fool an expert - sorry.
