Read The Care Labels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you start to wash your tights, it\u2019s best to know the basics about tights. Read the care labels to get a good understanding of the instructions. Keep in mind that tights are quite delicate so don\u2019t wash them with other clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, to avoid over-washing your tights, only wash them after second or third wear. If they\u2019re still not dirty, you can even wash them after the fifth wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Hand-Wash Tights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some of us, laundry day is the worst day (hence why you should book a <a href=\"https:\/\/app.laundryheap.com\/booking#step1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">laundry service<\/a> so you don&#8217;t have to do the laundry). When it comes to washing tights, they usually don\u2019t require the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/4-ways-to-make-your-washing-machine-last-longer%ef%bf%bc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">washing machines<\/a>. Yes, that\u2019s right. Hand-washing tights can and will produce the best cleaning results. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First things first, fill a tub with water. We go back to the first point; read the care label to see what water temperature is required. If information is not clear, fill the tub with lukewarm water and add half a cup of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/a-comprehensive-guide-to-laundry-detergent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">laundry detergent<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the tub is filled, turn your tights inside out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Scrub The Bacteria-Prone Areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thirdly, gently scrub the bacteria-prone areas (these would be the feet and crotch). Then allow your tights to soak for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Rinse The Tights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afterwards, start to rinse in cold water and make sure the soap is gone. Make sure your tights are without soap when you take them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Start To Dry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hard part has all been done, hooray! Hang your tights out to dry. It\u2019s worth mentioning that you should avoid drying them in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/tumble-dryer-care-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tumble dryer.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tights are a great piece of clothing that is made for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/the-right-way-to-store-away-your-winter-clothes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">winter<\/a>.
