2. Clean your blinds
Next, spritz those damp socks with vinegar or another cleaner you favor and use those dexterous digits to get in the nooks and crannies of your blinds for a deep clean. Toss the sock in the wash when you're done. Also no mention of socks in the post below, but you could use them with these tips:
3. Deodorize
Socks are like satchels waiting to happen, so add some of your favorite good-smelling dried plant, like lavender, for a satchel you can stick in a linen closet, dresser drawer or anywhere you need it.
4. Say goodbye to spiderwebs
Grab a yard stick and an old sock to dust up in those high corner you can't normally reach otherwise.
5. Save your Swiffer
Don't keep splurging on new refills for your Swiffer brooms and mops; just slip a dry or wet old sock on to keep swiffing for clean floors. Tip spotted on First for Women.
