Care instructions
To maintain the effectiveness of the compression stockings, 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 wash the compression stockings in a washing machine (separately during the first washes) with a delicate fabric detergent and without softener, at temperatures between 30 °C and 40 °C. Then dry them away from sunlight and any heat source. You can spin your compression stockings without twisting them! Do not use detergent products. Do not iron.
