Specifics aside, the general rule in washing tights, and any type of hosiery, include turning them inside out. Doing so will prevent lint from building up while they are in the wash.
Lint is a natural build up of skin cells and fibres that occurs in all clothing pieces. You want to avoid lint in your hosiery as it creates bumps.
As with rings and bracelets, long fingernails or rough nail edges can catch on the tights and snag the fabric, so be very careful. If you have hangnails, trim them first. Unless you are thinking of washing them in the machine, you do not want to risk washing your tights with untrimmed fingernails. Your tights , whether they are opaque or sheer, fishnet or lace, nude or colored, must be separated from the rest of the laundry and must have its own pile along with your undergarments, stockings, and other delicates.
Always opt to wash your hosiery by hand to be sure that it will not accumulate runs or tears. If you are going to wash them in the machine, set it on gentle cycle. Any detergent will do so long as it is rated safe for use with hosiery. Check the detergent packaging to see if it is OK to use for delicate clothing. Never use the drying cycle on your washer or put your hosiery in the dryer. The strong heat produced by these machines, plus the constant spinning, wear the fibres of the tights down.
In result, the process thins your tights, making them more prone to runs and holes. When dealing with delicate clothing such as tights and stockings, you better not have any jewelry on. These things can inadvertently ruin them and cause runs. What you need to know is that tights are very delicate and throwing them in the laundry with the rest of your clothes is sure to ruin them. Instead, you can wash sheer tights once every two wears, and thicker tights after every three wears.
As usual, just be gentle and wash similar colours together. As when always manipulating your tights , remove any jewelry and make sure your nails are well maintained to avoid creating any snags or rips. To further protect your tights and hand wash them properly, follow this simple 4 step system. Fill a sink with lukewarm water and add half a cup of mild laundry detergent to wash your tights.
Any detergent will do, but you can also look for detergent specially made for delicate clothes. Make sure you use lukewarm water, as hot water can actually reduce the elasticity of your tights and affect their fit.
