What You'll Need
- Dish soap
- Cleaning cloth
- Warm water
Step 1: Pre-Treat the Stain
Start by pre-treating the glue stain with a small amount of dish soap. Gently rub soap onto the stained area of the tie and let it sit for 10 minutes. This will help loosen the glue and make it easier to remove.
Step 2: Rinse the Stain
After letting the dish soap sit for 10 minutes, rinse the stained area with warm water. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to gently wipe away the glue and soap mixture.
Step 3: Treat with Cleaning Solution
If glue stain is still present, mix one teaspoon of dish soap with one cup of warm water and apply the solution to the stained area. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
Step 4: Dry Tie
Once the glue stain has been removed, lay the tie out flat on an absorbent surface and allow it to air dry completely. Do not put the tie in the dryer as it could shrink or become damaged.
Conclusion
It may take a few tries to get all of the glue off of your white tie, but with these easy steps and a little persistence, your tie will be looking good as new in no time.
