Rub seltzer on the stain

If it's a stain try wetting it and sprinkle baby powder, let dry and flick off-repeat.
Works sometimes....

I have a chinese cleaners in Toronto that cleans ties w/o killing them. You just ask them to steam clean, not press.

Tiecrafters.

When my ties get dirty I usually get rid of them. I find that everytime I clean them it just ruins the tie. Not worth paying to get it cleaned. I try not to eat with my tie on.
