How to Keep Track of Socks

Be aware right away when socks are lost.

Clip them together when putting them in the hamper or washing machine (try a Wizzpeg or a safety pin, or fold them inside one another.)

Put a spare peg next to each sock as you hang them on the line, as you find the mates use the spare peg to hang them next to each other.

Check the washing machine, around the washing machine and the ground around the clothesline to find any missing mates if there are any socks left over when you get to the end.

Tips

• Buy pairs of the same socks. For example: four pairs of blue socks, four pairs of brown socks, four pairs of black socks, or twelve pair of white socks, all exactly the same. This makes is very simple to pair the socks up at the end of laundry day. It also reduces the risk of loss and damage.
