If it's a very expensive, solid colored silky tie, I think I would leave it to a professional dry cleaner. For a regular tie, I would but a drop of dish washing detergent like Palmolive of Dawn on a wet, clean sponge and gently rub the stain.To avoid a watermark, dip the entire tie in cool water and rub the stain until it's gone and the soap is rinsed out. Don't wring it out.

Dry it flat on a towel...hand pressing it into shape. Should look good as new.

I tried several different methods, and what finally got the stain out without damaging the sweater was rubbing the degreaser/hand cleaner that my hubby uses when working on construction equipment. I rubbed it into the sweater while damp, left for a couple of hours, then laundered as usual. " Thanks so much for the tip Lore!
