How to care for your socks
Italian means quality down to the last detail. Italian means that every detail is carefully considered. But it also means that you value what you have, so you can enjoy it for as long as possible. That's why at Carlo Lanza, we make men's socks that last and stay beautiful. But once they're in your hands, you'll have to do your part too. Here's how!
Handle with care
It's no secret that Carlo Lanza men's socks are comfortable, but this also means they need to be treated with care . They're certainly suitable for everyday wear, but it's especially important to maintain their optimal quality when washing.
Wash by color
Does all your laundry end up in the same basket? Or does it end up somewhere in the corner of the room, on a random chair? That's no problem, of course, but when you gather the items to wash and start the washing machine, it's important to pay extra attention. Try to wash your socks with items that are roughly the same color. You can usually separate your laundry into whites, colors, and darks. For example, wash yellow socks with the colors, and gray socks with the darks. Handy, right? This prevents your socks from staining other clothes and changing color, and vice versa.
Washing tips
To completely prevent color bleeding, you can initially use a color-catching cloth in the drum of your washing machine, especially the first few times. It's also recommended to wash towels separately to prevent lint from getting on your socks. Here are a few more tips:
- Wash your socks at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. Generally, your socks, and clothing in general, are better off with a longer cycle at a lower temperature than with a short, hot cycle.
- Wash your socks inside out.
- Let your socks air dry and do not use a tumble dryer.
- Don't use too much washing powder, as your washing machine may not be able to drain it completely and the powder may remain in your clothes.
Carrying tips
Don't walk around in just your socks, as this will accelerate wear and tear. If you take your shoes off at home, make sure you have a pair of slippers or flip-flops by the door. This is not only better for your socks, but also wonderfully comfortable! It's also important to keep your toenails relatively short so you don't create holes in your socks with sharp edges.
Keep them beautiful!
