Everyone knows it. After washing, you lose your socks or at least one sock from a pair. But where do these socks go? We have good news: It’s not your fault!
YOU LOSE OVER €3000 ON SOCKS
British researchers have calculated how many socks an average person loses each year. The number they found is quite alarming. You lose 1.3 socks per month! Over an average lifetime, that amounts to about 1,300 socks, worth over €3000. That is certainly not nothing, but where do they go?
THE MYSTERY
Socks disappear, as we now know. But where do your socks go when you put them in the wash and can no longer find them after washing? There is a gap between your washing machine and the drum, which becomes slightly larger as the drum turns. The gap is too large for bigger clothes but perfect for socks. When the water drains after washing, it can carry your sock into this gap. So your socks don’t disappear but remain in a ‘secret’ place inside your washing machine.
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT YOUR SOCKS DISAPPEARING?
The easiest way to prevent your socks from being swallowed by your washing machine is to use a laundry bag or sock clips. By washing your socks in a laundry bag or using a sock clip, you make sure your socks are no longer ‘too small’ for your washing machine.
Always wash your socks and other small laundry items in a laundry bag or with a sock clip to prevent them from disappearing; it will save you a lot of money and trouble! And oh yes, don’t forget to try to retrieve your socks from your washing machine.
