In reply to the discussion: Something to Ponder or to use your imagination on-What happens to that missing sock that you put in the dryer? Did it [View all]Niagara
(8,750 posts)I purchase socks that can be mated with another sock if the original mate goes missing.
I'm hard on socks because I walk frequently and my socks will receive newly developed holes in only one sock. So what I do is throw away the one holey one and I forget to find the weakest link one to follow suit in the trash. I have enough cleaning towels and cleaning rags so I don't need to save a holey sock for cleaning.
My major issue with the dryer is that I keep two wool balls in the dryer at all times. The wool balls help lessen drying time and help keep bulkier items from getting entangled together.
However, sometimes the wool dryer balls go missing because they either:
1. rolled out of the dryer as I was removing items and I didn't see it
2. get stuck in a pantleg or shirt sleeve
3. get stuck in a corner of a fitted bedsheet
The missing wool dryer balls don't generally go missing for a long time but it is annoying when it happens.
I don't really have socks that need to go on a missing poster though.
