Nylon Stockings, Pantyhose and General Hosiery Care Suggestions.

Beautiful fine hosiery lasts a long time if taken care of efficiently. Putting on your hosiery, stockings bodystockings, pantyhose and removing them should be
done wearing hosiery gloves.  Using hand cream and foot cream before handling your thigh highs, pantyhose, garter stockings and hosiery is suggested.
Pantyhose should be put on gently, not to pull them up vigorously.

To wash your nylon stockings or pantyhose, do not use hot water or bleach.  Most of our stockings and pantyhose should be washed by hand in the sink using a mild detergent such as a good hosiery wash which is manufactured exclusively for hosiery,  most washes  have a special silicone additive which will actually make your hosiery stronger.  The one notable exception to hand washing would be opaque hosiery.  While it is best to hand wash all hosiery, with opaque stockings and pantyhose you can use a washing machine.  However, when you use a washing machine, put your stockings or pantyhose in a hosiery bag or a pillowcase so they don’t get caught on the zippers and buttons of other clothes in the wash load.  Don’t set the temperature on high, cold water is best if at all possible for nylon hosiery products.  Use the delicate cycle in the washing machine  if you can.

Separate hosiery colors!  Don't put black nylons and stockings in the sink with beige, you generally won't like the results.  Believe us, we've tried it by accident a few times.   Color hosiery should absolutely be kept separate to maintain their color integrity.

To dry your nylon hosiery, roll your stockings in a towel - never wring nylon hosiery, you might  stretch or break the delicate fibers.   After removing as moisture as possible,  lie your hosiery flat to dry.  Never put any nylon hosiery in the dryer.
