1. Carefully slide hand between the tie material and the row of crystals.
2. Gently remove tie material using your hand as a barrier to not snag the tie material on the crystals as you remove it.
3. Place collar piece in water and soak for fifteen minutes.
4. Remove collar piece from water and very gently squeeze your hand around the collar, running your hand down the length of the collar while very gently squeezing to remove excess water.
5. Gently place hand between crystals and collar material and replace tie material being careful not to snag tie material on the crystals.
6. Wear as a normal stock tie and enjoy the cooling effects while you show

TO HEAT

1. Royal Attire line stock ties must not be put in microwave due to the crystal attachment on the collar. Instead, follow use steps 1-5 above, soaking in hot water instead of cool water to use as heating instead of cooling.

TO DRY

1. Hang somewhere well ventilated and warm to dry. For faster drying, place in dryer on air dry or a low setting. 

WARNING

1. ROYAL ATTIRE line stock ties must not be put in the microwave due to the crystal attachments on the collar piece. 
2. DO NOT FREEZE, as fully freezing will deteriorate the integrity of the crystals and lessen their effect over time, and can also cause a somewhat slimy feel on the exterior of the fabric housing the crystals while activated.
3. The cooling crystals are themselves non-toxic and will not cause harm upon accidental ingestion. HOWEVER, accidental ingestion of a large amount of dry crystals can potentially be harmful depending on the quantity ingested because they will swell internally, as they normally would when soaked.

Handwash with mild soap in cool or lukewarm water and hang to dry in well ventilated, warm location. To dry faster, place in dryer on air dry or other low setting for delicate materials.
