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 recover 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 a temperature 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 any detergent products. Do not iron.
