Dear all,
Does anyone have any experience with washing trial compression garments/leggings used for Lymphoedema clients.
The clients may try on several sizes or types before purchasing a pair suitable to their needs.
The compression garments are adversely affected by high temperatures usually required for laundering shared items.
Current practice in many centres is hand washing them and allowing them to air dry between clients.
