Spring is finally here and that means it’s time to give our homes a deep clean. One of the best ways to get your house in order is by getting organized. Our tights can often get out of control because they don’t have any obvious place to be stored. To help with your Spring cleaning efforts, we thought we’d share some of our favorite ways to organize tights.
Why Organizing Your Tights Is Important
Organizing your tights will help you find them when you are getting ready. However, organizing your tights is also important to make sure they are well-cared for and last. High-quality European tights like those sold at Hosiereee.com will last a lifetime if you care for them properly. Organizing them will make sure they don’t accidentally get any snags or runs. It will also help prevent the fibers from degrading.
Tips For Organizing Your Hosiery
Start by pulling out all of your tights into one area. Then one by one try them on to make sure they still fit. If any do not fit, you can donate or store them for the future. Look for any snags, holes, or runs. If they have not ruined the tights, take this time to repair any issues you found. Next, start sorting your tights. You can sort them by color, opacity, or even into day and night tights. Next, you will begin to store them. Make sure that whatever storage method you use, you leave extra space for new additions. There are a couple of ways we would recommend depending on your space:
● The Best Option: Bag your hosiery individually you can use soft fabric bags, sandwich bags, or invest in high-quality hosiery bags. Then store them in a dresser drawer
● You can also either roll or gently tie them and place them into a drawer organizer with slots.
● You can hang them with a scarf or tie organizer in your closet.
Finally, set up an area to put your worn tights for the wash. Tights get very damaged in the wash as they can tangle with other clothes. Ultra-sheer tights can snag on zippers and buttons, while opaque tights can rub against other fabrics and start piling. Setting them aside for hand washing or machine washing in a lingerie bag helps protect them. It will also save you sorting time on laundry day. If you are storing them in a dresser drawer, you can add a laundry bag to that drawer to make it super easy.
Organizing your tights will keep them protected. Investing in European quality tights from Hosieree.com will ensure they last for years to come. Happy Spring Cleaning!
