Can these socks be machine washed and can they be dried in the clothes dryer after washing?

I worn these socks several times, washed them in washing machine and dried them in a dryer. They are still doing their job well.Dwight

I wash these socks (turn them inside out first) however, I wash them in cold water (that's how I wash everything now except for whites). As for the drying - I let them air dry while I get the rest of my washing and drying done and then put them in a low heat dryer when I'm done with everything else to dry the rest of the way.

Hand wash, air dry to avoid shrinking. They are a wool blend, fit close to apply appropriate upward pressure on blood. But not very tight fit, just comfortable. I wear size 10 1/2 EEE shoe and this sock is lg/Xlg. Washing wool in hot water or machine will likely shrink the sock making it uncomfortable.

I have washed them in a washing machine without any problems, but I do put them in a lingerie bag, and I air-dry them. I wouldn't just throw them in the machine. A zipper pillow case works well also.

Yes- I have washed and dried them a few times, and they are great. Wear them all the time- even to bed! Love them!!!

I'm sorry that I can't answer that, as I have not used the hedgehogs in the washing machine. I seem to recall the box said to use them in the dryer.I think you would have to contact the manufacturer to find out for certain.

I don't know but they are only going in the dryer so not sure why you would need to. Wool does tend to shrink so its your call

I put mine in the washer and dryer all the time. Even though they dry quickly, I suspect they will eventually harbor bacteria, so I highly recommend washing them.

I don't, but then I wash my socks with cool water and only dry them a little bit in the dryer. They last longer that way and don't shrink.

As noted in other answers... these socks do seem fairly quick to dry, but local conditions (high humidity due to weather) could determine whether the socks would dry completely overnight. Taking two pair to rotate is a good suggestion... also taking a small microfiber towel to roll the socks in (roll & squeeze socks after washing/rinsing to wick excess water from the socks) before setting out to dry would be a good idea. The Silver Drystat in the blend will retard odor as well as speed up the drying. If necessary the socks could be worn 2 days between washings easily without any fear of odor unless feet are prone to being very sweaty, or a person is engaged in athletic activities.

I wash these socks with other dark colored items in the cold-water wash cycle of my washer, then hang them (with clothespins) on a coat hanger to dry. Since I hang them in pairs, it is easy for my husband to pick the pair he wants to wear for the day without digging through his sock drawer.

Yes, but they do shrink in the dryer. So I air dry them as opposed to machine drying.

Yes. I have washed mine several times. I let them air dry so they don't shrink.

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 stopped using them before I needed to wash them. But I'm sure just wash them in a machine then hang dry.

I've had mine for a quite a long time now and I would say you don't need to wash them, but I have thrown them in washer or dryer from time to time and they have not shrunk for me. You could hand wash them as well to avoid them from shrinking and just let them dry out.

I'm not affiliated with the manufacturers of all the various brands of compression socks, but a few pairs had instructions with them: never dry in the dryer. I wash mine in the washer on gentle with a smidge of blue Dawn---gets oils out. Then hang them or ly flat to dry. I started out washing them by and with Dawn in the sink, but that got old after a few weeks.

I put them in the dryer at the same time as my wet clothes. They will do their work just like dryer sheets. I TAKE them out with my dried clothes.
