I use socks when varnishing wood also.

By Jennie on 1/15/2010 10:42:45 PM

I give my son old socks to put on his hands and feet and let him go to town. He gets a kick out of sliding on our hardwood floors and dusting with his hands!

Been doing this for years.  Works great & saves time. 

By Jacque on 12/8/2009 7:29:56 PM

Great idea I will try it next cleaning

By Tabbetha on 12/8/2009 8:49:44 AM

Love it

By Terry on 12/7/2009 8:53:12 PM

love this idea, i will definitly do this next time i have to dust my blinds

By Lavonda on 12/1/2009 7:21:23 PM

How funny - I do this too.  My kids look at me like I am nuts!  We are such multitaskers!

By Cindy on 11/25/2009 12:11:56 PM

Been doing this for some time. Works great!! Also works great on mini blinds. It's a great way to use socks with holes in them.

Great tip!  They also make nice grease rags for oil changes or other greasy jobs in the garage. Reuse by washing seperately or hand wash with Simple Green.

Stick an unmatched sock on a broom and catch all your cobwebs.

Awesome way to get your kids involved... My girls would find this idea fun and it would be helpful to me as well... thanks for the idea...

By Tammy on 11/19/2009 1:29:23 PM

I love it!

By Barb on 11/17/2009 7:14:09 PM

This is so cool!  And I thought I was the only one raised by her mother to use socks for dusting!  LOL  It gives you something to do with the unmated socks that you hang on to in hopes of finding its mate!  I consider it a 'green' idea.  No sense throwing something away that you can repurpose for another task  :)

By Lisa on 11/17/2009 6:28:59 PM

This is a very good idea.  I definitely will use this one and pass it on to friends.  Thanks

By Melissa on 11/16/2009 9:17:45 PM

that's a wonderful idea, especially with the busy daily lives we all live.  I usually don't have time to dust so I don't get to it as often as I'd like to, but this could work, thanks.

By Janice on 11/15/2009 1:43:34 PM

           Great idea

By Carrie on 11/15/2009 8:04:52 AM

This was a trick my mother taught us when it was our turn to do the dusting.  It made it more fun and the grandkid like to dust at our house.

By Irene on 11/13/2009 3:07:48 PM

Sometimes your ??? get answered in strange ways! I finally sorted thru the dreaded sock basket tonight. Well when I got done I am looking at about 40 socks that I really did not want to throw away. I was wondering what can I possibly use all these socks for? I just got online opened an email and here was my answer....Thanks

By Teresa on 11/11/2009 12:20:54 AM

thanks ,i will try that instead of doing the hold house at one time ,and not get nothing done .thanks again for looking out .maryqueen.chicago

I love the idea of doing the baseboards before bed.

By Suzanne on 11/10/2009 9:37:16 PM

I use my stocking (socked) feet to clean baseboards last thing at night before bed, then socks go to the washer.    Haven't thought of using them on my hands...

By Shawna on 11/10/2009 8:57:39 PM

I love using my husbands old socks for dusting. Great tip. I like to put one on my hand and dust my blinds.  Its so much more controled than a feather duster. You can slightly dampen the sock to really catch the dust.

By Trudie on 11/10/2009 8:02:54 PM

Now that sounds like a good idea. I am going to use it the very next time I dust. Thank you

By Patricia on 11/10/2009 8:02:35 PM

I love using the single socks that don't match for dusting.  You can just toss afterwards or wash and use as dusting rags.

By Wendy on 11/10/2009 7:45:50 PM

This is a great tip, I learned it from a client I used to take care of.  He had the fuzzy footies for me to use though and then just throw them in the washer.  I still use this one, makes things so much easier!

By Cheryl on 11/10/2009 6:53:58 PM

Yes, I have been doing this for a long while too.  It works great!

By Linda on 11/10/2009 6:32:02 PM

Great Idea! I will be using it!

By Donna on 11/10/2009 6:31:13 PM

OMG That's a great idea. One I will share

By Barbara on 11/10/2009 3:58:39 PM

Glad to see someone else is using their brain.  I've been doing this for years.  I just use old worn out white socks and spray with a furniture spray.

By Cathy on 11/10/2009 2:42:43 PM

This is a good idea and the one room at a time keeps you organized.  thanks

By Brenda on 11/10/2009 8:11:39 AM

That is a very good Idea - Thanks
