Maintaining the Appearance of Knee High Socks

Knee high socks are a popular accessory that can add a lot to the appearance of any outfit. While they are not as pricey as some other accessories—such as shoes purses wallets or jewelry—they are still not exactly cheap. It should come as no surprise then that most individuals want to maintain the appearance of knee high socks as long as possible so as to avoid their replacement. When it comes to maintaining the appearance of knee high socks washing drying and storing the items in a responsible manner are all essential steps.

Washing knee high socks is perhaps one of the most important steps when it comes to maintaining the appearance of the items. While it can be tempting to toss a pair of knee highs into the washing machine with the rest of one’s clothes this can be quite detrimental to the items. In fact this process cannot only leach color and thin the material but is very likely to can runs and tears. Instead owners of knee high socks should hand wash the items in a sink or large bowl filled with cool water and a gentle detergent. Be sure to wring all soap from the knee highs to ensure optimal results during cleaning.

While washing socks by hand is crucial to maintaining their appearance drying the items properly is just as important. Though knee high socks can be dried in a machine dryer this is likely to cause them to shrink and may alter their color. Instead they should be laid on a clean dry surface or over a stable bar rod and allowed to remain until all moisture has been removed. Individuals who own an outdoor clothes line can quickly dry knee high socks by placing the items on this line.

Finally storing knee high socks properly in the final step in maintaining their appearance. These days people are in such a rush that they often throw all of the socks underwear and other similar garments into one drawer without concern for their longevity. To extend the life of knee high socks fold them carefully and store them in a cool dry place—such as a dresser drawer cabinet or shelf. Socks that are made from a durable material such as wool or cotton can be rolled into a ball and placed in a safe location.
