Helpful Household Tips: Use Those Old Socks!

Old socks are one of the most annoying items in a home.  They can never seem to find their way into the garbage, but that is ok because there a variety of uses for them!  It is important to note that you should always wash the old socks before using them around your home.

·       Drink Koozie- Cut off the foot end of the sock and use the tube section for a fun outdoor drink koozie.  No worries if you lose it!

·       Duster- Put your hand inside the clean sock and spray any safe cleaning product on it then wipe down furniture and other appliances.

·       Cat Toy- Fill that old sock with stuffing and let you feline friend go crazy!

·       Heat Pack- Put some rice in the sock, do not fill it too tight, and sew the opposite end shut.  Place in the microwave for roughly one minute and apply where necessary.

·       Ladder Pad- Tape socks to the steps of a ladder to reduce pain when climbing up and down.

·       Soap Saver- When your bar of soap is getting slimmed down keep it off of the floor of your shower by storing it in a sock.

·       Kitchen Scrubber- Cut your sock into a square.  Then take the orange mesh bag that oranges come in and sew a square portion on the other side.  Soft on one side and scratchy on the other!
