00:00 Introduction

It’s a simple fact of life that stains happen. Whether you’ve been a bit too careless with a mustard-laden hot dog or a spoonful of soup, had a mishap with a fountain pen, or just ran into some nasty outdoor conditions, we’ve all had to contend with unwanted materials on our garments.

01:50 Common Fabrics Used for Accessories
→ Silk
Completely saturating silk with water can not only aggravate a stain but can also cause rings or ripples that might ruin the texture or color or pattern of the silk. It weakens when it’s wet and it also degrades with heat and perspiration.
→ Linen
It’s important that you not squeeze or press linen fibers when you’re trying to get a stain out. If you do this, you may further grind the stained material into the linen fibers making it harder to get out.
→ Wool
Stains can often set especially quickly into wool fibers so tending to a new stain is especially key with wool.

05:21 Types of Stains
→ Organic
* blood
* grass stains
* red wine
→ Inorganic
Stains from man-made materials:
* ink
* solvents
* machine dust
→ Oily Organics
* barbecue sauce
* sweat stains
→ Oily Inorganics
* cosmetics

06:12 Things you'll need for Stain Removal
* Clean towel
* Clean white cloth
* Paper towels or napkins
* Club soda or plain water
* Talcum powder, baking soda, cornstarch, or borax
* Table salt
* A formulated stain solution
* Spray bottles filled with either vodka, isopropyl alcohol, or rubbing alcohol and a 50-50 mixture of water and white vinegar and lemon juice

07:40 General Stain Removal Tips for Accessories
1. Be Wary of Using Bleach & Bleach Alternatives
2. Be Careful with Biological Detergents
3. Check the Fiber’s Colorfastness
4. Don’t Iron You Neckties
5. Don’t Machine Wash Your Accessories
6. Don’t Scrub Out The Stains
7. Don’t Wring Them Out
8. Be Careful with All Cleaning Methods
9. Inform the Dry Cleaner of the Fabric Composition

11:21 Immediate Stain Removal
→ Organic Stains (Food or Bodily Fluids)
1. Scrape Off with A Knife or Spoon
2. Blot At The Stain
→ Inorganic Stains (Oil or Grease)
1. Blot Up As Much of the Stain Material
2. Apply Club Soda

13:47 Removing Hours-old or Older Stains
This particular treatment can also be a great method for removing older stains although you may want to use it in conjunction with some of the other processes we’ve already talked about.
Oil Stains
1. Leave Baking Soda for 12 to 24 Hours
2. Brush Carefully

15:14 Ink Stains
It’s best treated not right away but after it has completely dried. This is because, if you try to remove a fresh ink stain while it’s still wet, especially by introducing another liquid, there is a great potential for the ink to simply spread around to more of the tie or pocket square.

These methods could also likely work for other materials like cotton or polyester. Remember to always work slowly and carefully and not to expect miracles.

Not every garment and accessory is going to be able to be brought back to 100% but garment care techniques are always worth a try.
