Maintenance tips
To maintain the effectiveness of the compression stockings, it is recommended to wash them daily. In fact, water allows the fibers to replicate and thus regain their initial effective pressure. It is advisable to machine wash the compression stockings (separately during the first washes) with a detergent for delicate textiles and without fabric softener, between 30 °C and 40 °C. Then dry them in the shade and away from any heat source. You can wring out your compression stockings without twisting them. Do not use detergent products! Do not iron.
