How to wash tights

One of the mandatory attributes of a modern beautiful woman, highlighting the beauty of her legs, is tights. Needless to say, the condition of this piece of women's clothing must be impeccable. Well, this raises the question of how to ensure this impeccable look, in particular, how to wash tights and is it even possible to do this? Let's figure it out.

Rules for washing such items

Regular tights and tights with fleece should be washed correctly. Otherwise, after washing, they will only be used for storing onions or for tying fruit trees in the country. First of all, you need to consider what material the tights are made of, or better yet, study the information on the packaging. The manufacturer usually uses icons to describe in some detail the features of caring for their products. If you strictly adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations, you will definitely extend the life of your tights.

• Be sure to wash your tights after each wear. Nylon tights get especially dirty.
• Tights should be washed very carefully by hand or in a machine. They do not tolerate any gentle physical influence.
• When preparing to wash tights in a washing machine, carefully check the walls of the drum for metal burrs, which are often found even in expensive washing machines.

If you find a metal burr on the inner walls of the washing machine drum, grind it off with a file or sandpaper.

• Don't even think about putting your tights in the washing machine just like that. They are first packaged in laundry bag, and then placed in the drum.
• Never wash tights using aggressive detergents or hot water. If you want your textiles to look like they came straight out of the package, they need to be washed in lukewarm water.

Washing product and mode

How to wash tights in a machine? Women often ask this question to their friends on forums and social networks, but they do not always receive an intelligible answer. As a general rule, tights should only be washed by hand. But modern washing machines have modes that allow you to imitate hand washing without any problems. In terms of care, such washing will be even better than hand washing, but it will take more time. What are we doing?

1. Carefully roll up the tights so as not to twist them and put them in the bag.
2. Turn on the washing machine and add detergent to the dispenser, close the dispenser.
3. We put the bag of tights in the car and close the hatch.
4. We set the program to either “delicate wash” or “hand wash” at low temperature.
5. We push to start and expect the result.

I would also like to say something about the detergents that are used to wash such things. Many housewives say that regular liquid soap is suitable for tights. No washing powders or conditioners are required. Our experts confirm the veracity of these words, but using highly foaming soap to wash tights in a washing machine is overkill. But if you buy any soap powder based on soap shavings that can be used in the washing machine, this product will be ideal.

In addition to soap, you can conditionally use a washing gel based on soap and soap components.But here you need to be careful and carefully read what is written on the package.

Handwash

Hand washing is the ideal way to care for your tights. If these items can dangle in the machine for hours, then they can be washed by hand in 10-15 minutes without any problems. When preparing to hand wash your tights, remove any jewelry that has sharp edges from your fingers. If these edges periodically cling to surrounding objects, then you will definitely catch the tights and, accordingly, send them straight to the landfill.

So, we will wash the tights separately. Lightly moisten the products in lukewarm water, then rub them with soap and let them sit for 15 minutes. Next we do this.

• Fill a basin with warm water, pour a small amount of liquid soap into it and stir it to dissolve evenly.
• We put our soapy tights in the basin.
• Let it sit for another 5 minutes, and then carefully rub the gusset, toe and heel with your own hands, trying not to subject the tights to excessive mechanical stress and without catching them with your nails.

We advise those with long, chic nails to wash their tights in the washing machine.

• Let's take the tights out of the basin and pour out the dirty water. Pour warm water again, dissolve mild soap in it and rinse the tights again.
• We drain the water again and this time pour cold water and rinse things in it.
• We take the tights out of the basin and squeeze them into a fist. Products must not be twisted.
• We dry things flat on a drying rack or line.

Washing nylon products

There is still a question that we did not discuss in this article: is it possible to wash nylon tights in a washing machine? Let us answer it this way: it is possible, but with extreme caution.So, how to wash nylon tights? First, let's inspect the products for loose loops, ties, and the like. If this kind of damage exists, it is better not to wash the tights in the machine. Only by hand and only very carefully.

If there are no damages, we erase them using the method described in the second paragraph of this article. Thin nylon tights should not be rubbed at all. In fact, washing them comes down to a regular rinse in warm soapy water. This is usually enough to wash away all the dirt. If anything, you can pre-soak them for a while.

So, we tried to answer the question of how to wash nylon tights and any other tights in general. It turns out that if you are careful, such products can be washed perfectly and retain their good appearance. Even if you wash them automatically. Good luck!
