Silk Ties : How to care for them?

[VermillionRed]

Hello StyleForum members. I am a newbie and this is my first post. I have several silk ties like Dormeuil, Cerruti, Armani, Boss, Versace etc . I would like to know if taking them to the dry cleaners is risky? Could the process harm the ties texture & color? Any advice would be welcomed.

Welcome!
I would not take your ties to a dry cleaner. If they are not stained there is no reason to have them cleaned. If they need cleaning I would send them to a specialist like Tiecrafters in New York. A neighborhood dry cleaner is more likely than not to crush the tie flat in their press. This will leave the tie looking flat and lifeless.
