Care instructions
To maintain the effectiveness of the compression socks, it is recommended to wash them daily. Indeed, water allows the fibres to retract and thus regain their effective initial pressure. It is advisable to machine wash the compression socks (separately during the first washes) with a delicate fabric detergent and without fabric softener, at temperatures between 30 °C and 40 °C. Then dry them away from sunlight and any heat source. You have the option to spin your compression socks without twisting them! Do not use detergent products. Do not iron.
