Fashion tights and stockings are a seriously hot trend, and women everywhere are wearing them in their daily lives and not just saving them for special occasions. Hosieree.com offers a wide array of styles and materials, and can turn your wardrobe into a fashion show in an instant! Here are some tips on how to keep your stockings looking like new:
Hand Wash
While some types of fabric, such as spandex, can technically be washed on the gentle cycle in a machine, it’s always best to hand wash your delicates. Use a very mild soap and when washing them by hand, avoid pulling and scrubbing hard. Use cool water and never hot or the hose could be damaged. Be gentle when you wash and rinse so the hose don’t lose their shape. Let the stocking air dry completely before you store them away.
When Wearing
Even the stoutest stocking fabric will still snag and run, so be sure you trim your nails and don’t let anything snag your stockings. Put them on carefully and roll them up the leg rather than tug. This will help them keep their elasticity and ensure you don’t unwittingly create a run. Be mindful of bumping into things, and avoid letting your stockings come into contact with seat cushions that could catch the fabric.
Storage
When your hose are stored between uses, don’t just crumple them up and stuff them in a drawer. The best way to store delicate hose is to roll them up carefully and put each pair in a soft cloth. For long term storage, put them in a zip lock bag or some type of air tight container to help prolong their life span. Do not store your hose aside bras or other lingerie that has a snap or fastener that could snag your hose.
Repairing A Snag
One quick fix if you do snag your hose is to apply a small drop of clear nail polish around the snag. This will prevent the snag from developing into a large run.
