How to Wash African Socks — Complete Care Guide

Afropop Socks are designed to maintain their bold colours and patterns through many washes. Follow this care guide to keep your African heritage socks looking their best.

Washing Instructions

Machine wash: 30°C (86°F) on a gentle/delicate cycle. Do not wash above 40°C.

Turn inside out: Before washing, turn your socks inside out to protect the printed patterns from friction.

Separate colours: Wash dark and light colours separately for the first few washes.

Mild detergent: Use a mild, colour-safe detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.

Drying Instructions

Do not tumble dry: Lay flat or hang to dry. Tumble drying can shrink the fabric and fade the colours.

Dry away from direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade bold colours.

Ironing

Do not iron directly on patterns: If ironing is needed, turn inside out and iron on a low setting. Do not iron directly on printed areas.

Storage

Store folded or rolled — do not stretch. Keep away from sharp objects that could snag the fabric.

With proper care, your Afropop Socks will maintain their bold colours and patterns for years.
