Every household occasionally has a sock orphan who has long since lost his partner, or a pair of socks whose best years are already behind them. But before you throw them in the trash, you can still successfully use them for a good cause.
What can old socks that you would never put on your feet be used for? It is in January, when we spend more time at home, that we more often notice every speck of dust even in the least accessible places. At such a moment, every such sock is literally a rescue material for us. It exists one particular kitchen tool that can work wonders when combined with an old sock and saves a lot of time during cleaning.
Find the meat tongs
Which simple tool do we mean? It’s about kitchen on meat or on saladwhich we can probably find in the utensil drawer. We put one sock on each of their shoulders and secure it with a rubber band.
From pliers to the perfect cleaning tool
With this simple procedure we obtain a brilliant tool for cleaning blinds, for examplewhich in many ways surpasses even special and relatively expensive brushes. If we also use a terrycloth or microfiber sock, they will attract dust without exaggeration. There will definitely be no swirling of it into the room.
It’s nothing complicated
The cleaning process itself with the help of this home cleaning genius is very simple. Simply moisten the socks in the tongs with water and then pinch them between his shoulders and then in one stroke we clean the upper and lower sides at the same time. It is a very fast and unexpectedly gentle procedure, which saves us from the tedious wiping of hard-to-reach places, during which we often scratch our fingers on sharp edges or accidentally bend the thin material they are made of. With pliers we get perfect control over the work and its result.
Everything can be improved
Although it seems like a perfect home trick that can’t even be improved, the opposite is true. This cleaning ritual can be even easier and more thorough if after the wet version you “put on” the tongs in dry socks and run the slats once more – this time with the intention of polishing the blinds.
Sustainable farming for modern times
You will see the difference and it won’t cost you a lot of time. Old socks don’t just happen in January a symbol of sustainable managementwhen we give things a new meaning and at the same time take care of the cleanliness of the household with minimal costs.
