Socks play an important part in a man's complete dressing but, often ts importance and care is underplayed. Bring an essential clothing accessory, one should pay equal attention towards the maintenance of socks as well. Mentioned here are a couple of tips that can help in the longevity of mens socks. Take a look:
Avoid Sharp Objects
Sharp things like pins, knives, corkscrews etc. are fatal for the delicate knitting of socks. The damage caused by such articles in form of holes, rips and pulls can be irreparable. Also, remember to keep the toe nails well cut to safeguard the
socks as well as maintain physical hygiene.
Maintain Washing Temperature
Make sure that the socks are washed in moderate temperature i.e. below 104 degrees. A temperature higher than that can end up in spoiling the texture of socks material.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners
All the clothing items that are worn close to body like socks, underwear, t-shirts etc. should never be washed with harsh cleaning agents like bleach or stain remover. Mild hand washing soap can be used instead for better results.
Don't Spin Dry
Spin drying the socks can also render negative results on the socks fabric. The constant spinning and strong pulls and turns within the spin tub create adverse conditions for the delicate pair of socks thus, it is best to hand wash your socks and air dry it.
Keep Them in Pairs
Keeping socks in pairs can avoid all sorts of confusion and mismatch at the time of need. The best way to do it is, remove the socks together and make sure to keep them together during washing and storing.
