You Don’t Always Have To Hand Wash Your Hosiery

You Don’t Always Have To Hand Wash Your HosieryWhether you wear something like our Amore 20 Pantyhose to the office every day, or you’re more of a Girardi Cest Chic Tights for a night out type of girl, washing your hosiery is often seen as quite a drag. When you invest in good quality European hosiery like we offer at Hosieree.com, you’ll of course want to wash and wear your hose in a way that prolongs their life, and many think that this means meticulously and carefully handwashing hose after each and every wear. We at Hosieree.com want you to not only look great in your hosiery, but enjoy it, and we have a few tips that can help you to save plenty of time taking care of your hose.

The bottom line is that you don’t always have to hand wash your hosiery, and unless the hosiery calls for a dry clean only, you can use methods to give your hose a nice long lifespan while still taking full advantage of your washing machine. A few failsafe steps to washing your hosiery in the washing machine, instead of by hand, are:

  • Opt for mild detergent – The milder the better, and with no bleach, a gentle detergent can be completely sufficient for washing your hosiery.
  • Go inside out – In order to prevent the accumulation of lint on the surface of your tights, make sure to turn them inside out before washing.
  • Place them in a hosiery bag – Once inside out, place your hosiery in a hosiery bag before tossing into your washing machine. Don’t have a hosiery bag? One pro-trick is to use a pillowcase tied closed instead!
  • Go cold and gentle – For the cycle, choose a cold and gentle cycle to protect the color and feel of your hosiery while also not putting it through a rough ride in the washing machine.
  • Dry flat on a towel – What you absolutely don’t want to do is place your hosiery in the dryer, and instead dry flat on a clean towel. Drying flat ensures the hosiery won’t be pulled or weighed down like it would be if hung to dry.

By following these steps, you can have a much easier time of washing your hosiery without worrying about having time to do so by hand. At Hosieree.com, we have all the hosiery option you’ll need for your everyday or your special occasion, so check us out today!
