Elton John Striped Sock

Careful care of your socks is the key to making them last longer! Spending more time with your Happy Socks equals less overconsumption, which saves more energy! It’s a win-win.

Happy Socks works hard to ensure its socks are of the highest quality. However, the life span can vary depending on how you care for and handle your Happy Socks.

Here are a few simple, sustainable habits to keep in mind: 

1. If you like stretchy socks, never wash them at a temperature above 40°C/104°F. The elastane doesn’t like it and becomes stiff and boring.

Extra delicate styles, wool socks, and compression socks should never be washed above 30°C/86°F.)

2. Always use a washing bag that stops microplastics from ending up in our oceans. (All socks have some kind of synthetic material in them, regardless of whether it is recycled or virgin; they all release microplastics during laundry.)

3. Skipping fabric softener and avoiding bleaching is A super easy tip.

4. To keep your socks looking fresh, wash them inside out.

5. Use a wash bag to protect products with embellishments during laundry.

6. Go easy on the detergent! Too much detergent does not necessarily result in cleaner clothes, but it does harm water systems. 

7. Happy Socks are durable but will last longer if kept out of the tumble dryer. Hang your socks instead, and you’ll save energy (and cash, yippee!).

8.Important:When putting on your brand new pair of Happy Socks, please take the time to cut the thread on the label with scissors instead of ripping it off, as this can damage the socks.
