Steps

Step 1
Set up iron
Set your iron on low and use an ironing board with a terry cloth cover.
-
The iron temperature should not exceed 140 degrees for polyester and silk ties and should not exceed 170 degrees for wool ties.
-
Step 2
Spray with water
Spray the tie with water. Then cover it with a cotton cloth for protection.
-
Step 3
Iron
Iron from the top of the tie toward the bottom. To prevent stretching, never iron in a circular motion.

Step 4
Hang up
Hang the tie on a hanger or put it in a tie case immediately for later use.
-
Starch used on clothes before storing attracts insects and mold.
