Tip of the Day: Prevent Tights from Ripping & Snagging
If every time you don a new pair of tights they get a snag or worse, a rip, try soaking new tights before wearing in a bath of 1/2 cup table salt and 1 quart cold water for about 20 minutes. Rinse and let air dry. The salt will stiffen and strengthen the fibers so the tights will be less likely to run. It will also help set the color.
