Look after them and they'll look after you.

Your Drippy Grippys look the part and perform because of what they're made from.

The grip technology that locks your foot in place needs a little care to stay that way.

Five rules. That's all it takes.

The checklist that protects your socks.

The most common issue is white socks going in with darker training kit on a hot wash. Cold water. Whites only. Inside out. Do those three and you've done most of the work.

A note on sorting.
Your Drippy Grippys might have a dark drip, but if the sock is predominantly white, that's what matters. White fabric picks up colour transfer from dark garments even in cold water. Always wash them with your white kit. The coloured drip will hold its colour just fine in a white wash. It's designed to.

FAQs

Common questions

Can I machine wash my Drippy Grippys?

Yes, machine washing is absolutely fine. Use a cold wash at 30°C or below, turn them inside out first, and always wash your white socks with whites. Skip the fabric softener and that's all you need.

How long do they last with regular use?

With proper care, cold wash, inside out, air dried, your Drippy Grippys will maintain their grip and structure through many sessions. Players using them multiple times per week and following these rules have used them for multiple seasons.

My grip pads feel less grippy. What happened?

The most likely cause is a hot wash or fabric softener. Both coat or break down the grip pads over time. Fabric softener in particular leaves a film that reduces traction and builds up gradually, so you might not notice it immediately.

Can I put them in the tumble dryer just once?

We'd strongly advise against it, even once. The heat from a dryer, even on a low setting, is significantly higher than a cold wash and can begin to soften and deform the grip pads. They won't fall apart after one spin but it starts the damage. Air drying takes a few hours and protects performance long term.

What detergent should I use?

Any everyday laundry detergent is fine. Just avoid anything with built-in fabric softener or bleaching agents. If your white socks have picked up grass or mud stains, a standard non-bio detergent at 30°C will usually do the job.
