How to Wash your Compression Stockings and Compression Socks

 

It is vital you wash your compression stockings and compression socks every time after you wear it. Remember these ten tips and guarantee your stockings will last longer.

 

  1. Use soaps intended for compression hosiery. Visit our compression hosiery accessories page and find various brands of soap products that are specifically developed and manufactured for this purpose.

 

  1. Avoid using these fabric cleaners because it may damage the elasticity of your stockings.
  • Chlorine bleach
  • Detergents
  • Fabric softeners
  • Delicate washing products

 

  1. Never attempt to dry clean your compression socks. The rotating cycle of the machine will be too much for its fabric to bear.

 

  1. Hand wash it in warm water. This will effectively prevent the build-up of skin oils while maintaining your hosieries’ fabric shape and support.

 

  1. Gently squeeze your stockings to remove excess water.  Never wring or twist it to speed up drying.

 

  1. You may buy a lint-free or flour sack towel if you intend to roll your stockings for easier drying. Just remember, a terry cloth towel will never do because some of its fibers may get stuck on your hosiery fabric and break it down.

 

  1. Never cut any ends of the threads you see appearing in your hosiery. Doing so may result to unraveling knots that are intended to secure some of the fabrics of your compression hosiery.

 

Take good care of your compression stockings and compression socks. Wash it every time after you wear it and enjoy the comfort and healing benefits it delivers.
