Can Socks go in the dryer?
if you’ve ever done laundry in a rush, you’ve probably wondered: can socks go in the dryer? The short answer is yes, but there are a few things you should know to keep your socks in top shape—especially if you own a pair of our ultra-soft Cloud Socks from Inspire Threads.
The Truth About Drying Socks
Socks are generally safe to throw in the dryer, but different materials react in different ways. Cotton socks, like our Cloud Socks, can shrink slightly if exposed to high heat. Synthetic blends tend to hold their shape better, while wool socks can shrink dramatically if dried on high heat.
Best Practices for Drying Socks
To keep your socks looking fresh and feeling cozy, follow these tips:
Use Low Heat or Air Dry – High heat can cause shrinkage, especially for cotton socks. If you want to play it safe, opt for a low-heat setting or air dry them.
Avoid Overloading the Dryer – When socks get tangled with heavy clothing, they don’t dry evenly. Keep loads balanced for the best results.
Turn Them Inside Out – This helps maintain their softness and prevents pilling on the outside fabric.
Use a Mesh Laundry Bag – This prevents socks from getting lost in the abyss of the dryer (because we all know the mystery of the missing sock is real!).
Can You Put Cloud Socks in the Dryer?
Our Cloud Socks are made with high-quality, ultra-soft fabric that feels like walking on a dream. While they are dryer-safe, we recommend using a low heat setting or air drying to keep them fluffy and long-lasting. If you love that fresh-out-of-the-dryer warmth, just be sure to keep the heat on the lower side!
