  3. That guy in the photo is way too cute. mmmmm

    I JUST ordered a few ties for my son, who will be a freshman next year and is required to wear a tie to high school everyday. This source is a great, fun and different for my boring, conservative, New England town... thankfully he loves Lilly ties...but any suggestions on cleaning them??? Teenage boys, ya' know?

  5. I've only ever taken ties to the drycleaners to be cleaned. Most of Babe's ties are Hermès and I'm not willing to take the gamble at home. But, if anyone would know how to clean silk or wool ties at home it'd be Housewife Bliss blog...XXOO

  7. I have hand washed Hermes ties. I know it sounds crazy but Dawn works well. You never, ever wring them out but lay them flat and then roll them up in a pure white towel to remove the excess water. Then you hang them to dry and press the tie between a slightly damp, white paper towel to get out the wrinkles.

    Here's what you tell yourself if you need to wash a tie. 1). The dry cleaner will likely not get out the stain. 2) The tie is already ruined if it still has the stain so you can really do it no harm.

  8. Thanks! That is perfect for teenage ties! It is worth trying to remove the spot by hand washing than to throw them away. I have sent many ties to the dry cleaners with spots that have not been removed. Tiger mothers do not send their children to school with dirty uniforms/clothing! Now if the cats would stay away from my daughters wool kilts! Enjoy, XOXO
