Taking proper care of your products is essential to ensure they maintain their beauty and last a lifetime. We have prepared a product care guide specifically for your ZONFAZ items, providing you with all the necessary instructions on how to care for them.

Necktie & Ascot

Removal and Storage
When removing your tie, untie the knot by reversing the method used to tie it (don't put the small end of your tie through the knot). After removing, hang the tie on a tie rack or coat collar, or roll it up in a tie organizer. Though rolling your ties and placing them in a drawer doesn’t necessarily damage them, in the long term, draping your ties on a tie rack or hanger will better retain its form and reduce wrinkling. Investing in a tie rack will make your tie storing and organizing much easier, and your ties will last longer too.The exception to this rule is square-tipped knit ties. These ties fare better being rolled up loosely and stored. This will ensure that your tie won’t stretch out or lose its shape.

Cleaning
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU SPILL FOOD OR DRINK ON YOUR TIE
Remove as much of the food with a spoon or blunt knife.
Remove as much of the liquid or oil by drying it with a napkin.
Use a damp napkin to blot (not rub) the stain. Fizzy water works especially well.
Extra special stains require extra special attention. Greasy Stains: Put talcum powder or cornstarch on it and leave for a few hours.

Ink: Allow the ink spot to dry before trying to remove it. Adding water to wet ink causes it to run and become even larger. Once dry, blot the stain with a small amount of rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer and a cloth. Let it dry and repeat until the stain disappears.

Red Wine: Immediately take the tie off and pour a large amount of table salt on the stain to soak it up. Do not rub the salt… simply leave it on the spot. Next, remove the remainder of the stain using the same rubbing alcohol method as with ink.

Bowtie & Suspender

General Cleaning
Do not machine wash. If you accidentally put your bow ties or suspenders in the washing machine, they will survive, but they will look better and last longer if you don't machine wash them. If they do make the mistake of washing them, hang them up to dry and iron.

Wrinkles
All you need is an iron and, if possible, some spray starch. If you haven't sprayed starch for your button-down shirts, it's a less than $10 investment and worth a try.
Spray your bow tie with starch, then immediately iron it gently with a little steam, keeping the edges neat and pressing out wrinkles. The steam will remove the wrinkles and the starch will help it stay alive. Then go back and put on your bow tie!
The same goes for suspenders. Be sure to move the adjuster so you can press out the part of the fabric that normally sits under the clip.

Stain Removal
If you accidentally get a stain on your bow tie, simply spray it with a stain remover, let it sit, gently hand wash it in the sink, and hang it to dry. Once your bow tie is dry, iron it (for more details on how to press bow ties, see the wrinkles section above). Use the same protocol for suspenders. Your bow tie or suspenders should look like new immediately!

Storage
Suspenders and bow ties should be stored hanging to minimize wrinkling.
We recommend storing your suspenders with the adjusters open and unclipped. Your suspenders may still have some wrinkles under the adjuster and can be ironed using the instructions in the "Wrinkles" section above.
