Star Wars 6 Pack Crew Length Socks Gift Set For Women And Men

• If you want to keep your Happy Socks nice and colorful for longer, make sure to turn them inside outwhen washing.
• The label indicates the highest temperature to use, but most detergents and modern washing machines clean your laundry just as well at lower temperatures.
• Avoid high dosing of detergent as it has an unnecessary impact on the environment.
• Hang your socks to dry instead of tumble drying. They will last longer and Mother Earth will be grateful.
• If your socks have reached the unrepairable end of the road, make sure to recycle the socks so they can get a new life and make the planet a happier place.
