Maintenance Schedule

Tie Care Timeline

Follow this schedule to keep your ties looking their best year-round.

After Wear

Undo the Knot & Hang

Always undo your tie knot gently. Hang it on a proper tie rack or roll it loosely to allow the fabric to recover and prevent permanent creases.

Weekly

Inspect & Steam

Check ties for stains, loose stitching, or fabric wear. Lightly steam any ties that have developed wrinkles from storage.

Monthly

Deep Clean & Rotate

Spot clean any stains. Rotate your tie collection to ensure even wear. Reorganize your storage if ties are getting cramped.

Seasonal

Deep Storage Check

When switching seasons, thoroughly inspect off-season ties. Store wool and silk ties in breathable garment bags with cedar blocks to deter moths.

Annually

Professional Assessment

Take valuable or heavily worn ties to a professional cleaner or tailor for deep cleaning and structural assessment. Repair any loose slip stitches.
