Keep Your Socks Fresh and Long-Lasting
Proper sock care is essential to maintain the quality, comfort, and durability of your favorite socks. Whether you own athletic socks, dress socks, or everyday casual socks, following these simple care instructions will help extend their lifespan and keep them looking and feeling like new. Our premium socks are designed to last, and with the right care routine, you'll enjoy maximum comfort and performance for years to come.
1、Machine Wash or Hand Wash Your Socks
Our socks can be safely machine washed or hand washed. For machine washing, we recommend using a mesh laundry bag to protect your socks from snagging, stretching, or getting lost. Hand washing is ideal for delicate materials and helps preserve the fabric's integrity.
2、Turn Your Socks Inside Out Before Washing
Always turn your socks inside out before washing. This simple step ensures thorough cleaning of the interior where sweat and bacteria accumulate, while protecting the outer surface from friction and fading. It helps maintain the vibrant colors and patterns of your socks.
3、Choose a Gentle, Mild Detergent
Select a mild, pH-neutral detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or strong detergents that can damage the fibers, cause color fading, and reduce the elasticity of your socks. Gentle detergents preserve the softness and quality of the material.
4、Always Wash Socks in Cold Water
Use cold water (below 30°C/86°F) for washing your socks. Cold water prevents shrinkage, maintains elasticity, and helps preserve the shape and fit of your socks. It's also more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, while being gentler on all fabric types.
5、Do Not Use Fabric Softener
Skip the fabric softener when washing your socks. Fabric softeners coat the fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking properties essential for comfort and performance. This is especially important for athletic and performance socks that need to keep your feet dry and comfortable.
6、Air Dry Your Socks Naturally
After washing, air dry your socks by laying them flat or hanging them on a drying rack. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the elastic fibers, cause shrinkage, and reduce the overall lifespan of your socks. Natural air drying preserves the quality and fit.
