Tip Tuesday - Socks

How can something so small be such a frustrating part of the laundry process? Hopefully today’s #TipTuesday will help you resolve the missing sock dilemma!

Purging:

I wrote another blog specifically on purging & organizing your sock drawer back in January! You can read that blog HERE.

• Get rid of socks that:

  • have holes in them

  • are stretched out

  • are stained (ew.)

  • don’t fit you anymore

  • don’t have a match

Organizing:

Sort your socks by style: no-show, ankle, crew, knee, dress, etc.

You can purchase or make dividers for your sock drawer if you want to really step up your game.

Laundry Tips:

Designate a garment bag for each person in your home. Everyone’s socks go in their own bag to be washed and dried. This prevents you from losing socks in the laundry process or mixing up socks that may be close in size & style.

Folding:

There are several ways to fold socks. If you are struggling with finding what works for you, google “sock folding techniques” and choose what’s best for you depending on your storage. I like to stack the socks in my drawer. I don’t fold them into each other because it stretches them out too much. I stack short socks on top of each other in separate stacks in the drawer. I fold long socks by simply matching the tops of the socks together and folding them in half once. Then I stack the folded socks on top of each other in separate stacks in the drawer.
