There are some things that are better washed by hand if you want them to last as long as possible.

Not every housewife knows whether it is possible to wash nylon tights in a washing machine. They say that this material is so delicate that it can get spoiled very quickly. Here is what experienced housewives do.

For delicate items, it is better to choose hand washing, but if there is no time for this, then machine washing is allowed. Here are some tips.

1. It is possible if these are translucent budget models, but expensive and thin products will have to be put in order manually.

2. If there are minor snags or small holes, then after machine washing the tights will only be used to store onions and garlic.

3. Do not wash them together with other items that are decorated with decorative elements or have hooks, zippers or other fasteners.

4. Even if you follow all these recommendations, you should use a laundry bag to protect the material from damage.

5. It is better not to use powder, but to choose a gel for delicate washing. Also, you should not use products that contain chlorine and other aggressive substances.

6. Select the delicate wash cycle, with a water temperature of no more than 30 degrees, without spinning.

And finally, it is not recommended to overuse machine washing, because wear and tear occurs much faster in this case, so machine washing is alternated with hand washing.
