Wash your stockings before wearing them for the first time
Use any of the following products to wash your stockings:
Medi-Care Wash®, Wisk, ERA, ALL, Ivory Snow. These agents help prolong the life of your garments and help maintain the prescribed pressure.
If you are unable to use these soaps, you may use Dreft® or Ivory Snow. No other soaps should be used. Do NOT use: Chlorine bleach, detergents, fabric softeners, or delicates washing products such as Woolite®.
Washing Instructions:
Wash daily in warm water (the temperature for hand-washing dishes) to prevent a build-up of skin oils, which can break down the fabric. Using warmer water will also create better fabric "memory" so that your stockings will retain their shape and support. Rinse well with warm water.
Squeeze to remove excess water. Do not roll in a towel or allow the stockings to come in contact with a terry cloth, as the fibers can become embedded in the stocking fabric and cause spandex breakage. Do not wring or twist.
Drying Instructions: Garments not containing silicone top bands may be machine dried on the “air dry” cycle only. Lay flat or hang to dry away from sunlight or direct heat. Do not machine dry flat knit garments or garments with silicone top bands.
Helpful Hints:
If thigh high stockings have silicone, scrub them with a soft brush such as a toothbrush, about every two weeks to remove contamination.
It is recommended that you have two pairs of support hosiery so they can be washed daily as it is the body oils that shorten the life of the stockings.
Do not put your stockings on right after you apply lotion.
If needed, moisten your skin at night after you have removed your stockings rather than in the morning. Oil-based creams, ointments, and petroleum products will shorten the life of the stocking by breaking down the spandex fibers that provide the compression you need. If you do lotion your legs before putting on your stockings, use non-oil based lotion.
Do not cut off the ends of any threads because this may unravel knots that are part of the stockings.
Wear clean stockings only!
