Socks play an important role in keeping feet comfortable and clean. However, due to intense use and frequent direct contact with dirt and sweat, socks become prone to getting dirty and smelly. Dirt and stains on socks are often a major problem for users.

Usually, dirt comes from the road, dust, and even shoe dye can stick to socks. Unfortunately, these stains are not easy to clean, you know. In addition, using socks for physical activities such as exercising can worsen this condition. The combination of sweat and bacteria trapped in the sock fibers often creates an unpleasant odor that is difficult to overcome even after washing.

To deal with smells and stubborn stains on dirty socks, some people usually use bar soap. Yup, bar soap that is usually used for bathing can be effective in removing stains if rubbed into socks. That way, dirty socks will shine again.

Instead of painstakingly scrubbing your socks using bar soap, you can use other, more practical methods. An Instagram user @corry.mega once shared a special way to wash socks without extra effort.

Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he only used simple ingredients in the kitchen. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @corry.mega on Friday (26/7), the kitchen ingredients in question are baking soda, vinegar and dishwashing soap.

First, place the socks in a bucket or basin. Then pour hot water until it is completely submerged. If so, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of baking soda, and enough dish soap. Next, stir all these ingredients until evenly mixed. After that, let it sit and soak the socks for approximately 15 minutes. Or you can wait longer until the water temperature really gets colder.

If it's cold, just check the socks. Because the stain has already faded, you don't need to brush it vigorously. Stubborn stains on socks will disappear easily. Then, when you have checked them, rinse the socks with running water.
