The Hosiery Mate Company was started 50 years ago in Chicago by an inquisitive and inventive young optometrist. Always looking for a better way to do things he developed Hosiery Mate, a cleaner for women's hose. Hosiery Mate has proved through the years that it does prevent runs and snags, eliminate static build up and most incredibly bonds itself to the nylon fibers and strengthens them.
In addition to all of those benefits, Hosiery Mate does not require rinsing the garment after washing and never leaves a soapy residue. The soil and dirt is left in suspension in the wash water. Those properties made Hosiery Mate was a cleaning product so unique that it qualified to become one of a just a handful of cleaning products that could qualify and obtain a US Patent. Hosiery Mate was environmentally friendly, simple to use and most importantly it worked.
From that modest beginning the Company was able to develop a line of specialty cleaners for not only hosiery but lingerie, swimsuits and active-wear. Never advertised, other than by word of mouth, the product was sold out of the trunk of a car, the old fashioned way, one store at a time. Today thousands of loyal customers care for their garments with our Mates.
Today the third generation of the family carries on the tradition and manufactures the same extraordinary cleaning products, from the original formulas. Our Mates are often copied, but never duplicated. Hosiery Mate has proven to be be most effective on surgical and compression hosiery, protecting the expensive and widely utilized hosiery from excessive wear and prolonging the life of each pair when used consistently .
