What you should keep in mind.

Wash at a maximum of 40 degrees.

At 30 or 40 degrees, textiles get just as clean as at higher temperatures. Plus, you save energy by using lower temperatures. A wash cycle at 30 degrees produces 0.6kg of CO2, while at 60 degrees it’s almost six times as much! For heavy soiling, you can soak the textiles beforehand or use a hygiene detergent.

Separate textiles by color.

White textiles are washed separately from other colors. The same applies to black clothing. However, you can wash colorful textiles together—with one exception: red! This ensures that your textiles retain their original color even after multiple washes.

Use laundry bags.

A small laundry bag protects against friction and unsightly little pills. This effect is also known as pilling. The smooth surface of the products can thus be preserved. A good and sustainable solution against microplastic pollution are washing bags that can capture microplastics.

Avoid dryers.

To be on the safe side, the rule for all products is: it's best to avoid using the dryer. This helps maintain the quality of your textiles even after many washes. Products can always shrink slightly in the dryer.

Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

These agents not only harm the environment but also most textiles. Therefore, you should avoid such aggressive cleaning products. Your clothes and the environment will thank you!

Wash new products before wearing.

Once again, this is primarily about your health. Some people have allergic reactions to the substances used in the manufacturing process or that the product has come into contact with.

Why wash textiles regularly at all?

That may be obvious to some of you, but there are actually good and important reasons for it. First of all, it promotes your health, which is especially important to us and to you! Especially in summer or during sports, boxer shorts and socks are the ideal breeding ground for bacteria. The cause of this is our sweat production, which runs at full speed when body or outside temperature rises. To prevent these pathogens from negatively affecting your health, it is worth washing socks and underwear regularly. 

 

As mentioned, your health is very important to us. But it is also important to us that you can enjoy our products for as long as possible. This includes that they still have their original look even after frequent wearing and multiple washes. We all probably have a few formerly white socks or boxer shorts lying deep in our closets whose color has now turned yellow or gray. This is not only annoying because it could have been easily avoided, but also expensive because you probably had to replace the underwear at some point. To prevent this from happening with SNOCKS socks and underwear, you just need to keep a few things in mind when washing.

Problems you don’t have to worry about with SNOCKS.

Have you ever had a piece of clothing ruined because you washed it at too high a temperature? Has your underwear ever shrunk because you put your briefs or socks in the dryer? Both have happened to us as well. It's even more frustrating when the manufacturer doesn't provide any washing instructions or at least some guidelines. At SNOCKS, we want to make sure you don’t have to deal with these problems with our socks and boxer shorts. 

Just in case...

We hope that the information and tips in this post were useful to you and help ensure that your SNOCKS underwear still looks and feels like new even after many washes.

 

If you consistently follow our DOs and DON'Ts for properly washing SNOCKS products, nothing should stand in the way of a long-lasting and happy relationship between you and your clothes. However, if you do experience any issues after washing, we will of course keep our promise and replace the item for you. Thanks to our SNOCKS guarantee, you will simply receive a new pair of socks or boxers in this case. This way, we want to make sure you enjoy our products and can focus on what really matters.

 

With that said, we wish you lots of fun with your now clean SNOCKS clothing!
