1. Before Washing

Sharp objects such as kitchen knives, fountain pens, letter openers, corkscrews or heaven forbid... long toenails, can irreparably damage the fabric leaving you deprived from further sock pleasure. Side note: Gentlemen, if you wish to get OR hold on to a girlfriend, long toenails should be banished now and forever in any case.

To keep all of your clothes (not just your socks) safe in the washing machine, you should do up all the zippers on your clothing to prevent them damaging other items during the spin cycle.

2. Wash Your Socks, Don’t Scald Them

Treat your socks like living beings. Sure, they want to feel clean, but this is no reason to boil them alive. A bath at 40°C is sufficient to maintain good foot hygiene. Merino wool socks like temperatures of no more than 30°C.

 

3. Gentle Sock Care Without Chemical Weapons

Socks are one of the few garments you wear close to your body. It is not fair to torture them with bleach or stain-remover. Delicate and wool detergents are all you need to look after your feet's second skin. Where possible, these should not contain enzymes, as these destroy the socks’ fibers.

 

4. Dry at Low Temperatures

Tumble drying is a torture device for your socks if you care about their longevity. A dryer produces lots of hot air and that becomes unbearable after a while. Spinning and hot air pulls small fibres from your socks so do keep your favourite socks away from those shuddering beasts!

Socks prefer to take it easy and enjoy hanging around, so a washing line is the best place to dry them.

 

Business Light Socks: Easy for Beginners

5. Don't forget: Socks are social beings!

In the wilderness socks are never alone, they generally like to hang out in pairs. On their own they feel lonely and useless. To prevent this, we suggest that you always remove your socks together, and keep them together during the waiting, washing and storing process until their next use. That way, you can prevent a solitary sock coming to an untimely end under a hotel bed, while the other one lies unused in the dark shadows at the back of a drawer.

 

How can a sockscription help me with sock washing?

With a sockscription, you regularly receive the same socks posted direct to your door free of charge. The benefit of this is that there is no longer any need to sort through your socks after a wash. You can also marry up a widowed sock with another from the sockscription.

This saves you time, both with shopping and your laundry.
