Compression stockings generally are meant to be worn everyday. With that in mind care for these expensive garments becomes important.
Hand washing is considered one of the best ways to clean your garments. Use warm water and a mild detergent. If you want to machine wash your hosiery turn them inside out, and place them inside a mesh laundry bag.
Hang or lay flat to air dry. You may use a clothes dryer on a low or delicate setting.
A compression stocking applicator to help put on and take off your hosiery will help your stockings last longer and will help maintain the integrity of the elastic.
