Things You'll Need:
- Medium sized container (grocery sack and hanger, empty shoe box, empty basket, etc.)
- Mesh laundry bag (zips closed and washable)
-
Step 1
Do your best to keep socks together when putting them into the dirty laundry pile. There are several ways to do this:
1. Pin socks together (very effective, but time consuming and cumbersome).
2. Place socks in a separate hamper, and wash all the socks together in a small load once a week.
3. Place socks in a mesh laundry bag (also commonly referred to as a lingerie or delicates bag). -
Step 2
Keep a medium sized container like a grocery sack (it's convenient to "hang" it on the clothes rod in your laundry room), empty shoe box, or basket in the laundry room close to your dryer.

Step 3
When you find a sock that's missing it's mate, simply toss the lone sock into the container. Every now and then (say, once a month), sort through the socks in the container and match them up. This is a great task for children ~ mine love playing the "sock matching game"!
