    Greasy Stain

    Study the nature of the stain on your necktie. If it is a greasy stain, make sure to be absorbed prior to being removed. Once the stain is dry, place your necktie on a flat surface and apply some baby powder or salt to it. Set it aside for few minutes until the salt or powder absorbs properly. Now, wipe the salt or powder off using a clean cloth. Repeat the process if required.

    Carbonated water is your best bet in removing stains from ties of all makes and materials. Simply dip a clean cloth in some club soda or seltzer water and gently dab the stained area. Repeat dabbing with a clean cloth in carbonated water until the area is clean.

    Note: You should never rub the stain on a tie, as it will cause it to settle and spread. Instead, dab by pressing on the spot repeatedly, allowing the soda to work its magic.
