WASHING:
Follow the washing instructions on the socks. Generally, manufacturers suggest that you avoid bleach when washing these quality wool socks. Washing the socks inside-out is a good way to eliminate perspiration-caused bacteria—but clean any leaves, twigs and pebbles from the outside first. Using the Socklink to hang dry your socks is a great way to maintain sock shape and comfort and extend useful life. With proper care and use of Socklinks, your purchases will last years.
RENEWING TABS:
The Socklink tabs are designed to last through over 50 washings. Eventually the high-tech adhesive will begin to release from the sock.
The bond can be renewed using the following procedure:
Place a small block of wood inside the sock underneath the tab. Stick a pencil through the unattached gap. Then, using the “Wool” setting, press the iron down on each side of the tab for about 2-3 seconds with about 5 pounds of pressure. DO NOT OVERHEAT the tab and sock since doing so will damage both.
You may order additional links in packages of 6 if required. Please be sure to specify on your order if you want additional links. Each link should last the life of the sock so, under normal circumstances you should not need additional links.
