    I have never successfully hand washed Silk Ties, I have ruined 2 but it might be worth a try by yourself but I agree because to be frank Dry cleaning works but at such an enormous charge for what is a small item.

    The hardest part is ironing, perhaps if you lay them flat with a weight on top while they dry, under a tea towel that might work.

    Do not under any circumstances wash in the washer, silk shirts work but only because they are a single thickness.
