• Wash pantyhose and stockings gently by hand, using a mild soap. Do not use soap that contains chlorine bleach, because it will damage colors and fibers.
• If you prefer the washing machine, place pantyhose in a hosiery bag or pillowcase and wash on the gentle cycle with mild soap.
• Here's a little known fact: When machine washing, turn stockings inside out to avoid lint build-up.
• To dry, place one or two pairs of pantyhose on a towel and squeeze towel gently. This eliminates dripping when hanging hosiery to dry. Never attempt to dry pantyhose in the dryer.

2. Always store hose in a separate lingerie pouch, to avoid needless snags and pulls from rough drawer edges.

3. There is a right way to put on hosiery to ensure better comfort. Most importantly, take a few minutes to put them on properly, and follow these simple directions:

• Remove all jewelry, and check fingernails and toes for rough edges.
• Roll each leg of the pantyhose down and place the garment over the foot. Gently smooth one leg way up, then repeat on the other leg. Pull the rest of the pantyhose up to the waist, but don't pull too tight! Smooth fabrics while checking for any snags.
• Lastly, take off your hosiery just as carefully as you put them on.
