How do you wash hosiery?

Question

I have a few pairs of regular tights and fishnets where the feet are all...funky lol...I don't have a clue how to wash them.

Answer 1

They have laundry bags to wash delicate nylons in ,the tights can be washed on Delicate cycle and cold water.Put the water level low so the agitation will not encourage too much movement.Hand washing still is the best especially for the fishnets...Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Hosiery Wash

Answer 3

By hand in your kitchen or bathroom sink with mild soap such as Woolite or just use laundry soap. Fill sink put in the water and then one pair of hose squeeze the hose that the water works through them but there is no need to scrub them unless you have very soiled foot soles then you may need to rub them some. Squeeze the water out and transfer to another pan wash each pair and transfer to the other pan when all are washed then rinse in clean water several times. Hang over your shower curtain bar in bathtub or hang from hangers over the tub. Don't twist to get water out that will stretch and misshape them. Just hang dripping wet. Depending on the weight of them they dry from an hour or two to 3 or 4 hours for heavy tights.

Answer 4

I always wash by hand. I use a little laundry detergent or shampoo and let them soak in the sink a while then rinse and hang to dry.

Answer 5

Wash them by hand regular laundry soap is fine. Let them soak in the sink cold or warm water. too hot could shrink hang dry!!

Answer 6

I wash mine with just a drop of dishwashing liquid and warm water. Slosh them through the water until the feet are clean. Then place all of the wet hose inside a dry thick bathtowel and roll up tightly to wring out the water. hang them up in the bathroom over the shower door or on a hanger to dry. Never wring them out by themselves because it will stretch them and never put them in a dryer because they will melt.

Answer 7

just as would would with any other delicate hand wash items, tepid water I use liquid washing detergent like Aerial for the tights and stocking´s they seem to come up nice and smooth, then rinse in cold water hang up to dry

Answer 8

Most would say to hand wash, but I just throw mine in the washer and put the setting on gentle. Then hang to dry.

Answer 9

You don't put them in a washing machine, rather you soak them in a sink for a few hours then hang them up to dry.

Answer 10

You can buy a special laundry bag to wash delicates in. You can find one at Walmart in the laundry section. You would wash this bag in the delicate cycle of your washing machine
