Use them as hand dusters to get into all the nooks and crannies that you cant reach with anything else or for things what would ruin your normal cleaning clothes. Once one is filthy, chuck it.

Or fill some with some bicarb and essential oils and shove in your drawers and wardrobes to keep things smelling fresh, or even tooked behind something as a home-made air freshener.

Hi, I just wonder... where do all odd socks go? I have at present, 2 carrier bags, full of them; previously decided to throw another bag, which i was keeping in case the others appeared. The funny thing is, I cannot match 2 similar ones EVER!
So, thank you all for the tip, to buy same socks from now on.
thanks. Y.

Some people have house chickens (yes, really) and a nappy for them can be made out of a sock. I *think* this is how it goes.

So, just find 23 house chickens . . . .

I tie the odd socks together to make tug toys for my dogs or put an old tennis ball in the end of a long sock and tie it in. The dogs enjoy these 'toys' just as much as the proper dog toys (which I think are far too expensive to be torn apart by the dogs in no time at all).

Don't worry about wearing odd socks,I went out the other day in odd shoes! one cream /one black same style so they felt the same, neither I or my friends noticed for a couple of hours,is this a sign that I'm getting old?

On the problem with socks disappearing in the washer or dryer put them all together in one of those mesh laundry bags with a zip top and wash /dry them all in one go, that way they all stay together ,it also helps to keep fluff off them from other items in the machine,also works for jumpers.

last week I found an odd sock in the wash - nothing unusual there - except it wasn't one of ours:eek: :eek: . We finally realised it was a "stowaway" from DD recent school trip to Belgium.:rotfl:
No takers yet though!!!!

Look behind your radiators!! ;-)

Shortly after moving into my house I found 15 odd socks, a Mr Men book, a candle, a biro, a nearly empty tube of hand cream and a 6" screw behind my radiators! I figured it was a good idea to check behind them before winter set in after the previous owner retrieved her mobile phone from behind the bedroom radiator on moving day - it turned out her young daughter had put it there (-: I posted these things through their letter box but I still have no idea if the socks have been reunited with their partners.......

Not quite an odd sock, but yesterday I found a pair of my knickers in the tea towel drawer! :eek: Clean, I hasten to add! :rotfl:

I have a big washing basket full of odd socks! I have been slightly good and gone through and thrown out any sock that we'll never wear even if I do find the other one and those where the elastic has gone. Though I still have this big basket full! Seems to be a very large amount of childrens socks in there which are now too small...but as I'm trying to save money I'd rather try and find the partner for each of them for the new baby

What really annoys me though are black socks which you think are the same but are subtly different!
