Here are 12 ways to use old socks that dont involve a dumpster.
Dusting Mitts
There is no greater use for repurposed socks than dusting mitts.
Simply put the sock around your hand and get to work.
Heating Pad
Not interested in buying a plug-in heating pad?
Simply fill an old sock with rice and tie a tight knot in the end.
Microwave for around 30-45 seconds to heat the contents.
Place the sock over your hand to easily scrub away the marker.
Have a puppy in the house who is just learning to play?
Tie a knot in the center of a single sock for playtime fun.
Rag
Not interested in creating anything at all from your old socks?
They also make great tools for drying dishes and washing cars and bikes.
Those spaces can be hard to see, much less reach.
Pull a sock over the end of a broom handle and swipe your corners to easily clean spider webs.
