How to care for your socks

Italian means quality down to the last detail. Italian means that every detail is thought through. But it also means that you value what you have, to enjoy it for as long as possible. That is why at Carlo Lanza we make men's socks that last and stay beautiful. But once they are in your hands, you will have to do your part too. This is how you do it!

Handle with care

It is no secret that Carlo Lanza men's socks are comfortable, but this also means that they need to be treated with care . They are certainly suitable for everyday wear, but especially when washing it is important to optimally maintain the quality of the socks.

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 is of course not a problem, but when you gather the items to be washed to turn on the washing machine, it is important to pay extra attention. Try to wash the socks with items that are approximately the same color. You can usually divide your laundry into white, colored and dark. For example, yellow socks should be washed with the colored laundry, gray socks with the dark laundry. Handy, right? This way you prevent your socks from transferring onto other items of clothing and changing color, and vice versa.

Washing tips

To prevent colour 'leaking' altogether, you can initially put a colour catcher cloth in the drum of your washing machine, especially the first few times. It is also advisable to wash towels completely separately to prevent lint from ending up on your socks. Here are some more tips:

• Wash your socks at a maximum of 30 degrees. In general, your socks, and clothes in general, are better off with a longer program at a lower temperature than with a short, hot program.
• Wash your socks inside out.
• Let your socks air dry and do not use a tumble dryer.
• Do not 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.

Wearing tips

Don't just walk around in your socks, as this will accelerate wear. 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 is also important to keep your toenails relatively short, so that you don't make holes in your socks with sharp edges.

Keep them beautiful!
