Sigvaris Washing Solution 16 oz/473 ml

Why Choose Sigvaris Washing Solution

Standard laundry detergents are formulated for cotton and synthetic textile care — they are not pH-optimised for the elastic spandex and nylon yarns that provide graduated compression pressure. Residual detergent in compression fabric after incomplete rinsing contributes to elastomer degradation that progressively reduces measured compression below the therapeutic level. Body oils, sweat, and skin care products accumulate in the fibres after each wearing — this buildup reduces fabric elasticity and increases garment odour, affecting both therapeutic performance and wearability. Sigvaris Washing Solution is specifically formulated to remove this buildup without the enzyme-based and bleaching chemistry that standard detergents use, which degrade spandex and polyamide fibres over repeated wash cycles. For patients wearing 20–30 and 30–40 mmHg compression garments where therapeutic pressure depends on maintained fabric elasticity, using the correct washing solution is a meaningful factor in how long the garment delivers accurate graduated compression. The 16 oz / 473 ml size provides practical supply for a consistent washing routine. A useful add-on at fitting for any compression garment purchase.

Usage & Care

Add the recommended amount of Sigvaris Washing Solution to lukewarm water — follow the product label for quantity. Hand wash or machine wash compression garments on a gentle or delicate cycle in cool to lukewarm water. Do not use with bleach or fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue. Hang or lay flat to air dry — do not tumble dry. Follow the individual compression garment care label for any garment-specific washing requirements.
