Taking care of your stockings, socks and tights
Protecting them from damage
In general, try to avoid snagging or laddering your Scholl compression hosiery:
- Make sure your fingernails and toenails are free from rough edges
- Remove any jewellery which could catch as you put your hosiery on
- Check your shoes for sharp edges which could damage your stockings, socks or tights and your feet
Washing instructions
Scholl compression stockings, socks and tights should be washed every day after they are worn.
All of the Softgrip range are machine washable. To wash your stockings, socks or tights:
- Machine wash at a maximum temperature of 40ºC
- Dry flat
- Dry away from direct heat
- Do not dry clean, bleach or iron
Your Scholl compression stockings, socks or tights should be washed after every wear, so it is best to have two or more pairs. Handled carefully, your hosiery should last for 30 washes.
