Q.6 How Do I Care For My Below-Knee Stockings?

It is recommended to wash the compression stockings after every use to retain the elasticity of your garment and for hygiene purposes.
Instructions for washing compression socks:

• Take a small bucket and fill it with cool or lukewarm water. The water temperature should not be too hot to avoid damaging the compression properties of the socks.
• Add a few drops of the washing solution into the prepared bucket of water. Do not use fabric softener, bleach or any other harsh chemicals.
• Immerse the compression socks into the water. Allow the socks to soak for approximately 10-15 minutes. If the socks are heavily soiled, you can extend the soaking time accordingly.
• If desired, you can gently agitate the socks in the water by swirling them around with your hand. Be careful not to be too vigorous to avoid damaging the fabric.
• Remove the compression socks from the water. Rinse them thoroughly under cool running water to remove any remaining detergent or residue.
• Once rinsed, gently squeeze out any excess water from the socks. Avoid wringing or twisting them, as this may compromise their shape and elasticity. Lay the socks flat on a clean, absorbent towel or place them on a drying rack.

By following these instructions, you can effectively clean and maintain the quality of your compression socks, ensuring they continue to provide the desired compression benefits.
