Hi
I regularly use oats in a sock in the bath as it keeps my eczema under control.
Typically i aways have enough old (clean!) socks i can use and then throw away afterwards - but ive run out!
I wondered if anyone else did this and had a better way to do it as I gave up cleaning the sock out afterwards cos it seems like a right pain - any ideas appreciated!

I normally use an old baby muslin with an elastic band tied round it. It's easy to let it dry afterwards then just tip it into the compost bin and wash the muslin.0

A lot of eco shops now sell reusable cotton tea bags. Maybe have a look at them. I was thinking of trying this myself.1
