Washing and care instructions
Please note the care instructions on the textile label sewn
into your compression garment on the fabric. In order
to guarantee hygiene and material regeneration, where
possible compression garments should be washed daily if
they are worn regularly. Do up any fasteners before washing!
We recommend turning compression stockings with silicone
borders inside out before washing. Wash compression
garments separately when washing for the first time (they
may lose colour). Your compression garments should be
washed every day on a gentle or delicate wash cycle (40
°C). Tip: A laundry net provides additional protection for the
knitted fabric. Please do not use fabric softener. When hand
washing, rinse well and do not wring. We recommend the
gentle Juzo Special Detergent. You can reduce drying time
by placing the compression garment on a thick towel after
washing, tightly rolling the towel up and firmly pressing out
excess moisture. Then hang up the compression garment
loosely. Do not leave it in the towel and do not dry on a radia-
tor or in the sun. Compression garments are not suitable for
dry cleaning or tumble drying.
Material composition
For precise details, please see the textile label that is sewn
