How do you wash and dry such thick warm socks?

Hi, Chris!No special care is necessary. I put them in with my blue jeans. The dryer doesn't seem to have any ill effects. Drying time is about the same as blue jeans.Good Luck,RobAce of Baseness

For best results, part way through the dry cycle, take out the socks and turn them inside out. I have also put them through a normal dry cycle with no problems as well.

I throw them in the washing machine, color cycle, warm. Dryer, low heat. No problem. They work great.

I've had no problem washing these socks at the normal warm/cold washing setting. I didn't notice any unusual shrinkage putting them through the dryer either. They are still warm and comfy.

I run mine through the washer on cold in a mesh bag, then let them air dry. Because of all the elastic, I'm wary of the dryer. Mine are holding up great with this treatment.

I did wash mine on cold. Dried on low. You could also hang it up to dry on a rack.

I just wash in cold water. They do fine. I put in dryer for just a little bit.

Hand wash merino wool items and air dry. Dont put in a washing machine because warm water will shrink wool. GL

Personally I would hand wash and air dry. If you wanted to machine wash you could try putting them in a lingerie bag in cold water, on the gentle cycle and then air dry.

You are supposed to wash them in cold water in the sink. Because we wear them so often we always just wash and dry with the rest of our clothes - our socks will wear out faster but it is necessary for our fast paced lives.

I machine washed them in rockin green laundry soap and dried them normally. There is no real prep for these. I have stripped them once using the hot water in the washing machine.

I haven't washed mine yet, but I was planning on just using warm water and Woolite. They should be fine

Do NOT dry them in the dryer. Dry them in the open air. The heat from the dryer will destroy the way they work.

I wash with towels, cold water and bleach. I use dryer balls or dryer sheets. They are holding up really well.

I wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle then hang to dry. You could also easily hand wash them in cold water and hang to drip dry.

I actually did put them in the washer and they were fine. Do NOT put them in the dryer. Or you make soak them in warm water with fabric detergent. Rinse well and Air dry.

I've thrown mine in the washer before (no dryer!), but most of the time I just rinse with cold water and hang dry.

I washed them in the sink and let them air dry. Don't know how they would handle a waher/dryer.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I bought these as a gift for someone else. My best guess is to let them soak in Dreft or other mild detergent for 30 min and then let them air-dry or dry on low in the dryer.

Hanging them outside to dry is the best way. A mechanical wringer would get them dry enough for an automatic dryer, but good ones are not cheap or readily available. While hand-wringing sort of works on woven fabrics, it's not a good idea for knits because they get stretched out of shape. Debbie is right about the dripping, and it's hard to wring heavy fabrics like denim jeans. Knit sweaters and tops can be squeezed to get much of the water out, and if you wrap a clean dry towel around them you can squeeze out even more, then hang the towel to dry with the rest of the laundry.
