After soaking, gently agitate the socks in the soapy water. You can also use a soft brush to lightly scrub any particularly stubborn areas, like the heels or toes, where dirt tends to build up.
Wash as Usual
Once the socks have soaked and been scrubbed, wash them as you normally would in the machine, using your regular detergent. This will help rinse out any remaining soap and dirt.
Dry and Enjoy
After the wash, hang your socks out to dry or dry them in the dryer. You’ll be amazed at how fresh and bright they look!
Why Does This Work?
The soap helps break down oils and dirt that accumulate on white fabric. By soaking the socks in soapy water before washing, you’re giving them a deeper clean, which helps restore their original brightness. Plus, soap is a gentler option compared to bleach, which can weaken fibers over time.
Additional Tips for Maintaining Your White Socks:
Avoid Over-Washing
It’s easy to toss your socks into the wash every time they get a little dirty, but frequent washing can cause whites to lose their brightness. Instead, wear socks only once or twice before washing to keep them looking cleaner for longer.
