Sort socks
Sorting the socks by color:
An integral part of the washing routine: pre-sorting the laundry. Before you wash your socks, sort them by color and material. So the colors of the socks stay nice longer! We generally recommend pre-sorting the socks into black, white or colored laundry.
Turn socks inside out:
During preparation, socks should also be turned inside out - this allows skin particles to be removed easily.
The right washing program for socks
Cotton socks: wash at 30-40°C :
If the heat is too high, you torment your cotton socks and they can shrink. 30°C-40°C are completely sufficient.
Wool socks: wash on a wool cycle at 30°C and a maximum of 600 revolutions:
With our wool socks, we recommend washing the socks exclusively on the wool cycle. That's what they like by far the most. With the gentle wash cycle you ensure that your wool socks do not shrink and keep their shape. After washing, remove the socks directly from the machine, shake them slightly and pull them into shape when they are damp.
After washing the socks its time to hang them up
No dryer:
Socks live longer if you don't put them in the dryer. So our advice to you: skip the dryer and hang your socks up to dry. This is also good for the environment.
Fast sorting:
Our colorful DillySocks make sorting your socks super easy. Thanks to the colorful patterns, you can immediately see which socks belong together and don't have to look far! A clear benefit for your wardrobe and washing process, not only in terms of your look.
