I would not wash a silk tie....You will not ever get it to look right again.....They make a product for drycleaning at home, Its called Dryel...
I have never used it, but heard thats it ok...
I worked at a cleaners once and seen a girl ruin a silk tie by just putting a certain stain remover on it.

Cleaning Silk Ties

Know what I've learned? Dry cleaners are at their wit"s because customers are bringing them silk blouses etc that are beyond help. Scary, isn't it, when you know how much pure silk costs. What are folks doing wrong? Once silk is wet and you start rubbing it, you can chafe and break off the surface fibers. Kaput! Ruined
What's more lots of silks are treated with water soluble sizing that will leave a ring if you try to remove a spot -removal to the experts. Take a silk garment to your DRY CLEANER

There are several ways to spot clean them. Look in the cleaning aisle for Gonzo or Oxiclean or Tide to go. After you get them clean..hang them over the shower or a door and spray them with Scotch Guard..then when you drop something on them it will not soak in..This is good for the front of blouses, shirts or vests, too. I would be hesitant to wash ties because of the lining and interlining. Silk washes beautifully but washing ties might present a problem.

You could try gentle hand washing being careful not to twist the lie of the tie, squeeze the water out with the tie wrapped in a clean dry towel and dry flat.

It may sound funny, but I use a lampshade cleaner. It is a pouch filled with powder like dry cleaning stuff. It works great and hasn't ruined anything...so far. just make sure to test on the back side first. (I also use this to clean basball hats). It works great!

Hmm what about using dryell? you can find it in your local Wal Mart's household chemical isle..You will have to look on the back for instructions to see if you can use it on silk or not..But that may be the thing to do..
