The most popular gift on Father's Day is a necktie. And any father worth his salt wears the tie proudly at least once even if it is loud and gaudy or just plain ugly because his child picked it out.
If you are lucky enough to get a great looking tie, you'll want to keep it looking its best by removing stains, keeping wrinkles at bay and preventing excessive wear and tear.
Stain Removal
A tie is a stain magnet. It sits squarely under the chin and usually suffers the first hit of dribbled food. And with its long free-swinging design, a quick dip in gravy, water or paint is inevitable. Ties are expensive so taking a stab at stain removal is worth the effort.
Ironing a Tie
No man looks handsome in a wrinkled or creased tie but that may be better than a big scorch mark! With just a couple of tips, ironing can freshen the look of a tie and give it a professional look.
Storing Ties
Did you know that ties can fade in direct sunlight? Or that they can stretch out of shape? Do you know how long a tie should rest between wearings? Ties don't take up a great deal of space and you'll get many more years of wear if you store them properly. They might even last long enough to come back in style again!
