Hosiery Mate®
Give your fashion stockings and compression hosiery the special attention they deserve with our specially-formulated Hosiery Mate®. This cleaner protects your socks, stockings, and fashion tights, keeps the elasticity and makes them last longer. Our gentle solution cleans, conditions, and deodorizes hosiery, prevents runs and snags, and eliminates static cling.
Why use a special wash for hosiery?
Each time you launder your hosiery with traditional soap or detergent, the synthetic fibers deteriorate. Once weakened, these fibers are highly susceptible to sagging, snags, and runs.
Our effective cleaning formula works to preserve the elasticity and color of your hosiery, while strengthening these fabrics to extend their wear life. Hosiery Mate® features a fresh lavender scent that is subtle, yet alluring. The gentle formula is also made with high-quality ingredients that leave your hosiery feeling clean, soft and silky.
Hosiery Mate® is designed to work for both hand and machine washing. It is effective on all types of hosiery fabrics, and works on compression hose as well. Our cleaning formula is bleach, phosphate, and dye-free, meaning that it’s gentle for you and for the planet.
How to Hand Wash Hosiery:
•Pour four capfuls of Hosiery Mate® into a sink filled with warm water. Swish garment around for 15 seconds
•Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring garment. The best way to remove extra moisture is to place the garment between two towels and apply light pressure. The towels will absorb the excess liquid without damaging the fabric.
• Lay the garment flat or hang to dry
How to Machine Wash Hosiery:
•Add two to four oz. of Hosiery Mate® to a small load.
• Use warm water
• HE machine approved
Stockings, fashion tights, and other types of hosiery can be difficult to wash due to their delicate nature. Hosiery Mate® is the ideal protection for your delicates, ensuring the longest life possible for your expensive hosiery. Try our rinse-free formula to ensure that your hosiery comes out fresh and beautiful after each wash.
Note: Keep this product out of reach of children and pets.

What Customers Are Saying about us
"Product absolutely perfect! So happy you still make it. Have been using it for many years."
Jean M. Tulsa, OK
"Your product has been keeping my bras alive. I am so happy with your product. My bras have lasted much longer than they should and it is due to your product. My favorite bras are always being discontinued and I appreciate your product so that I can have them longer. I don't know how it works but it does. Thank you!"
Rosemary W., Street, MD
"Soap irritates my legs. I have been hospitalized 10 times for cellulitis and Lingerie Mate is the only thing that does not lead to itchy and dry skin. I love your product."
Kathleen T. Bronxville NY
"I got the shipment from Hosiery Mate this afternoon, and tried out the hosiery gloves as I just came back from a social function which was semi-formal so I had to dress up (dress slacks, shirt, tie, belt, support knee-hi’s, dress shoes, dinner jacket, etc). I would have to agree that while the (love) gloves are embroidered with women as the consumer, it made putting on the knee-hi’s (Wolford Pure Energy 30 in nearly black) a real pleasure, and the advertisement on your website is correct, as I did not have to worry about causing a run or snag from either my nails and/or dry skin while wearing the gloves. In my opinion, every one (male or female) who has to wear hosiery (medical, light support, sheers, or fashion) should have one pair of these gloves (or two).
I’ve found that I can wash up to 6 pairs of knee-hi’s per capful of hosiery mate (separating dark and light colored knee-hi’s), so your recommendation of between 4 to 6 pairs appears to be accurate."

I have nylons that have lasted 3 years. I do not get any runs or snags. I love the smell. I thought at first the price was high but it lasted forever!
Jane E, Maplewood, MN
I saw a big difference in my hosiery. I really like this product. (Store) tried to sell me something different but I didn’t want anything else.
Louise F, Washington, NC
Definitely extends the life of my hosiery!
Barbar H, Troutville, VA
I can’t believe how much longer my hose last with Hosiery Mate! I have 2 pairs of Hanes Alive that have lasted from last summer through this Spring!
Marie K, Bamcroft, IA
“I just want to extend my appreciation for Hosiery mate. I’ve used it for 30 years and it is so good that the elasticity in my knee hose goes out before I get a run in the hose. And I think that’s great.”
Lynne B, Bountiful, Utah
You don’t know how many pairs of hose I have ruined using Woolite. I have been out of Hosiery Mate for a little while and it really makes a big difference.
Lynne B, Bountiful, Utah
I just want to extent my appreciation for Hosiery Mate. I have used it for 30 years. And it is so good. The elasticity in my knee highs goes out before I get a run in my hose. And I think that’s great! Thank you!
