Care instructions
To maintain the effectiveness of the compression stockings, it is recommended to wash them daily. Indeed, water allows the fibres to contract 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 fabrics 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 stockings without twisting them! Do not use detergent products. Do not iron.
