How to Wash Fishnet Stockings

When laundering fishnet stockings, it is important to take special care to not rip, snag or stretch the individual diamonds in the weave of the pattern. If you are not careful, they can become destroyed rather easily. For this reason, it is advisable to wash fishnet stockings by hand with a mild detergent meant for baby clothes, or delicates.
