This week, many children are heading back to school. Therefore, it’s important to ensure that all their uniforms are ready.
Many girls’ uniforms include skirts or dresses paired with socks and tights. However, tights can be troublesome; kids frequently come home with ladders or holes in them.
In her video, she first places a pair of tights into a small bowl and fills it with water until the tights are fully submerged. Next, she moves the tights around in the bowl with her hand before removing them and squeezing out the excess water. Afterward, she puts the tights into a plastic sandwich bag and stores them in the freezer for 24 hours.
The next day, she takes the tights out of the freezer and rinses them with water again. Then, she stretches them gently by placing her hands inside.
Tsagana says, “It’s fantastic! They become three times stronger!” Tights company Snag adds, “It might sound crazy, but freezing your tights can actually make them last longer and prevent runs or ladders!”
Commenting on Tsagana’s video, one viewer mentioned they “always” freeze their tights. Another said, “Will definitely try this.” A third person added, “Thank you for this tip.” Meanwhile, another parent wished they had known this trick when their daughter was younger.
However, some viewers seemed confused about how to wear the tights after freezing and wetting them. “Do we wear them wet?” one asked. Yet, others clarified that you should let the tights dry before wearing them.
“Do they need to be refrozen after each wear?” another person asked. However, those who tried the hack explained that you only need to do it before wearing a brand new pair for the first time.
