How to wash your heated socks

Our heated socks can withstand quite a bit. However, as with all precious garments, a hand wash is preferable to a machine wash. This way, you can be sure that nothing gets damaged and that you will enjoy your socks for years to come.

Besides, hand washing saves a lot of water and energy, which is obviously better for the environment. Granted, a hand wash does take more time, but it is still the best option to keep the fibres and heating system in top condition.

Let’s check out the do’s and don’ts when washing your heated socks:

Tip

Are your socks really dirty? Then add a tablespoon of baking soda to your suds. An eco-friendly way to get your socks hygienically well-cleaned.

Hand wash

Step 1

Did you remove the batteries?

Step 2

Replace the cap provided on the cable and put the cable back in the battery pouch.

Step 3

Prepare lukewarm water with a little hand-washing soap. A teaspoon of soap is enough.

Step 4

It may be tempting to use nice warm water. But lukewarm water is actually cooler than your body temperature of 37 degrees.

Step 5

Dip the socks completely and gently move the socks through the water. Let them soak for 10 minutes.

Step 6

After 10 minutes, you can drain off the water and rinse the socks. Now the worst dirt is gone.

Step 7

Prepare fresh soapy water and move the socks gently through it again.

Step 8

Rinse the socks thoroughly. You can do this under running water or by refilling your sink with water.

Step 9

Do not wring out the socks too hard to avoid damage. It’s better to squeeze out the moisture.

Step 10

Hang or lay the socks to dry on a drying rack.

Step 11

Do not dry your socks on a heater or put them in the dryer.

Washing machine

Step 1

Remove the batteries. Makes perfect sense, but just in case!

Step 2

Replace the supplied cover cap on the cable and put the cable back in the battery pouch.

Step 3

Put the socks in a laundry bag.

Step 4

Choose the hand wash cycle on your washing machine. This programme is usually set to 30°C and a maximum spin speed of 600 rpm.

Step 5

Hang or lay the socks to dry on a drying rack.

Step 6

Don’t dry your socks on a heater and don’t put them in the dryer.

Don’t always have much time? We completely understand. We understand that perfectly well. The occasional machine wash for your socks is no problem. But do you want to keep your socks nice and clean? Know that a regular quick hand wash works better than an occasional round in the washing machine.

Did you know that you can also buy a pair of heated socks without batteries in our store? These are more economical to buy and so you can change your socks regularly.
