Care instructions To maintain the effectiveness of the compression socks, it is recommended to wash them daily. Indeed, water allows the fibres to contract and thus regain their effective initial pressure. It is advisable to machine wash the compression socks (separately during the first washes) with a detergent for delicate fabrics and without fabric softener, 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 any detergent products. Do not iron.
