Sent in by a reader, a very clever Mom - great tip for teens with a habit of scattering their dirty socks all over the place.
"1 Cup of baking soda in a bucket of water and place
in your sons/childs/teenagers smelly worn all day
school socks!! Keep adding the socks each day - until all 5 days
worth are soaked. Wash and dry them on Saturday.
Not only does this keep the socks fresh and white and unsmelly ....
it also keeps track of all his socks!! (I make my son put
them into the bucket - and , hey if he can use a computer, he can use
a washing machine!!)"
