A few months ago, I wrote about how I cut up old, stained t-shirts for rags to mop the floor or wipe off the kitchen counters. Since then, I’ve found a clothing item that works even better for that purpose—tube socks. The wrong side of the sock has a rough surface like a towel, making it great for scrubbing off dried spills off surfaces.
So the next time you come across a holy tube sock, don’t throw it away. Save a tree and reuse the sock to clean up messes around the house.

You are so eco and brilliant. love you.
You always have great ideas!
I've used these before, and it's a great tip. It makes it really easy to dust chandelier lights...though we don't actually have a chandelier, I just did this at my mom's one Thanksgiving.
that is such an excellent idea; I had not thought of that before; it usually goes in the trash; but definitely could be put to better use
thanks for the idea :)
enjoy your Fourth!
betty
This is brilliant! My husband wears nothing but tube socks, I'm sure I could have more than I ever needed if I got him to save them. Thanks so much for the tip. :)
*shudder*
totally sock-a-phobic.
pass on this one, thanks. i stick to old towels.
that sounds good. i could do with using one of those round here for sure!
Is it bad that I've taken the socks off of my baby's feet and used them to clean up spit-up if there's no bib or other rag within arm's reach? He doesn't walk yet so his socks are clean, right?!
I have been using the "sock that got away and doesn't have a partner" for years to dust. Just put mismatched socks on your hands and dust away. Kids love it,too :)
