first most important thing to bear in mind when looking to iron a necktie is to check the fabric that it is made of. Different fabrics will have different ironing requirements and heat settings. The method regarding how to iron a silk tie will be different from that of ironing one made of cotton, wool or some other blend.
The next thing to be done is to ensure that the ironing board is clean and has no stains on it, only so that the tie doesn't get soiled too.
After the elementary instructions, it's time to move on to ironing the tie. Make sure you check the tag to find out what the heat settings should be like. Fabrics like silk or polyester require a cool setting. Wool would require a medium setting, and cotton works best with a high temperature setting.
Once you've taken care of the above mentioned, start with ironing the smaller end of the tie. Also take care that the tie has been laid down with the back of the tie on the top. Apart from this, the most important factor is that of maintaining the rolled edges of the tie, because if not done properly, the tie could lose its original rolled look and will flatten out because of the ironing.
