Fabric Care Instructions
1. Hand Washing (Recommended for Socks Made of Special Materials Like Wool, Cashmere, and Silk) Water temperature control: Use warm water below 30 ° C (avoid high temperatures for wool socks, as they may shrink and harden). Detergent selection: Use neutral laundry detergent (such as wool-specific detergent). Avoid using strongly alkaline soap or washing powder to prevent damage and fading of the material. Washing steps: Dissolve the detergent in water, put the socks in, and gently press and rub (focus on cleaning easily dirty parts like the sole and sock mouth). Avoid vigorous twisting or pulling to prevent deformation. After washing, rinse thoroughly with clean water until no foam remains (residual detergent may cause skin allergies or harden the fabric).2. Machine Washing (Suitable for Durable Materials Like Cotton, Nylon, and Polyester) Put into a laundry bag: Place the socks Alone in a fine-mesh laundry bag to prevent them from being caught by other clothes during washing or the elastic of the sock mouth from being stretched and Deformed. Washing mode: Select the "gentle mode" or "wool mode" (for wool socks), adjust the rotation speed to medium-low, and avoid high-speed spinning which may damage the fibers. Detergent dosage: Use an appropriate amount; excessive use may cause residue. No bleaching: Avoid using bleach for any material (chlorine-containing bleach will damage the fiber structure, causing socks to become brittle and fade). 3. Drying Tips Avoid wringing: Do not wring the socks vigorously after washing, especially elastic socks containing spandex. Gently press to squeeze out water, or wrap them in a dry towel to absorb moisture to prevent fiber breakage and deformation. Drying methods: Flat drying: Wool socks and silk socks are recommended to be laid flat on a clothes hanger, avoiding hanging (to prevent the sock mouth from sagging and deforming due to gravity). Hanging drying: Ordinary cotton socks can be hung by clipping both ends of the sock mouth (avoid clipping the toe or sole to prevent stretching and deformation). Environmental. requirements: Dry naturally in a well-ventilated and cool place, avoiding direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays in sunlight can cause fabric fading and fiber brittleness, especially for dark-colored socks). 4. Notes on Tumble Drying Most socks are not recommended for machine drying, especially those made of wool, silk, and spandex: high-temperature drying will cause wool to shrink and spandex to lose elasticity. If tumble drying is necessary, select the low-temperature drying mode, put them in a laundry bag, and do not dry for too long. Take them out and lay them flat to shape in time.5.Storage Methods Arrange the shape after drying: Gently stretch the sock mouth and smooth out wrinkles to restore the original shape of the socks. Classified storage: Store them separately by style (short socks, mid-calf socks, long socks) and use (daily wear, sports wear) to avoid squeezing Storage environment: Place them in a dry, well-ventilated drawer or storage box. Desiccants can be put in (especially in the plum rain season) to prevent moisture and mildew. Avoid tight folding: Long socks can be rolled into a cylinder for storage, and short socks can be rolled up after aligning a pair. Avoid pulling the sock mouth hard or folding to produce dead folds to prevent loss of elasticity. 6. Avoid wearing them continuously for a long time: If socks are not changed for a long time after absorbing sweat, bacteria are easy to wide, and the salt in sweat will damage the fibers. It is recommended to change them every day and wash them in time. Prevent snagging: Be gentle when putting on and taking off socks to avoid nails and jewelry snagging the socks. Avoid contact with sharp objects (such as table and chair edges, zippers) when wearing. Deal with pilling: Socks made of cotton, wool, and other materials may pill. Use a special lint remover to trim gently (avoid pressing hard when trimming to prevent damage to the fabric). Do not tear the pills forcefully to avoid expanding the damage.
