Don't use them as napkins anymore.

It's probably not worth getting it cleaned. Get new ones. If you're on a budget The Tie Bar has lots of options for $15. Or goto a thrift store.
More importantly, just learn how to eat over a table and not spill over yourself, otherwise this is going to get very costly in the long haul.

moist towel or sponge and dry em off with a dry towel and maybe a hair dryer.

From what I understand, silk ties are very delicate, so give dry cleaning (NO pressing) a shot. Best plan is to just get new ties. What are you doing that is staining all these ties anyway?
...I guess just being a college student who wears a lot of ties.
Also, eating.
The best advice you can get in this thread is to take better care of your ties. If you are going to be in a situation where you are likely to get messy, then perhaps you should reconsider wearing your nice ties that day. Either skip the tie or opt for a "cheaper" one. Treat them like you would your favorite suit, because ties stand out!
