Alright, to really understand why I am so fascinated with the whole "washing machine mystery" I have to admit to having the worlds largest pile of unmatched socks! I am not kidding. I have enough to fill a large dresser drawer. You'd think I would get rid of them. But NO! I for the longest time I kept thinking I was going to find their little lost mates. Then one day.....WOW!! I was going in to switch the laundry around and the wash tub (or slop tub as it is sometimes called) was filled up to the top and teetering on the razors edge of a major flood in the laundry room floor. As I raced over to turn the washer off out of the drain pipe shot ..... you guessed it ...a sock. Yes, it was a genuine certified white hanes athletic sock. Now, not only was the sock that had come flying out of the drain hose in the tub but the culprit blocking the drain was also a sock!
So, now you know the secret to what really happens to your socks... now what do you do about it? Just a step ahead of you here I searched the internet high and low looking for the magic answer. Do you know what I found instead? I hesitate to suggest it but search google for "washing machine eating socks" get a clear sense of what a mystery this seems to be.
FINALLY, I found the solution I was looking for! Thanks goes to www.WASHINGNET.org.uk for their contributions to saving poor mateless socks around the world. And if that is too far for you to go, may I suggest your local Target ; ) or at Target.com you can get a handy dandy laundry bag for $2.99!
