In order to make sure your hosiery is perfect each time you reach for it, we want to relay a few tips that can help to keep your hose looking brand new for wear after wear. Some ways you can help to extend the life of your hosiery are:

• Proper storage – The way you store your hosiery can have a huge impact on its lifespan, and we at Hosieree.com want you to know that whether you have tights, hose, stockings, or any type of hosiery, it matters how you keep your pieces stored. Ideally, we recommend storing your hosiery in the original packaging for protection, and making sure you have a set aside area just for hose to keep each package protected. 

• Hairspray – Hairspray has a ton of uses, and this includes prolonging the life of your hose as well. If you’re able to catch a small snag or run in your hosiery right away, a small spritz of hairspray can keep the area from getting larger or more damaged until you can have your hosiery properly mended. 

• Clear nail polish – If you don’t happen to have any hairspray on hand, a touch of clear nail polish can work to stop snags and runs in their tracks as well, and this is often the recommended method if you find a larger snag or run in your hose. While this isn’t a permanent solution, it can save your hosiery in a big way until they are able to be mended! 

• Freezing – This is a bit of an unusual trick, but it is one that many hosiery connoisseurs swear by! Taking new hosiery and running it under a cold faucet, then freezing the hosiery overnight and allowing to thaw naturally is said to strengthen the nylon fibers in a way that allows your hosier to be more durable during wear.
