I have had mixed results but it really depends on what you start with. I soak them in the washing machine overnight in lingerie bags. Oxyclean does a fine job of cleaning them in this manner. I then run them through the gentlest cycle the machine has---depending on how they look after the soak----and them hang dry them after shaping them up a bit. The wife irons them up for me at the appropriate time.
Like I say, it just depends on how brave you are with a few new to you ties. If the cleaners are not exactly trustworthy then you might try one and see what kind of results you can get on your own first.
