Who needs sock clips? I do!

Hardly anything knocks my socks off like sock clips do. Here’s my hymn of praise for this amazing laundry gadget.
I do many things because I enjoy them, some because I have to, and only a few with absolute reluctance. Doing the laundry belongs to the latter group. Especially pairing up socks. I don’t just dislike it, I’m actually sick of the sight of socks – my boyfriend’s and my (mostly) black socks, that is.
Finding the sock in the laundry stack
A life-changing encounter
One day, I was about to throw in the towel and hand over the sock issue to my boyfriend. But then something happened that knocked my socks off. I had a life-changing encounter with a rock star – the Sockstar. And our socks became groupies.
Here’s how it works
That was the day when our lives took a turn for the better. Today, we no longer throw our socks into the laundry basket after wearing them. We clip them to a sock clip. That takes a second of self-command, but it’s worth it.
After spending some time in the laundry basket, the sock clip moves on to the washing machine. A gloomy place for a pair of socks. Many an intimately entwined sock couple has been torn apart in the washing machine hurricane – and never found their way back together. The sock clip puts an end to this sorrow.
I had a life-changing encounter with a rock star – the Sockstar. And our socks became groupies.
Like a lifebuoy, it holds pairs of socks together throughout the wash cycle. Afterwards, the sock clip can be hung directly on the clothesline. Once the socks are dry, I take them off and fold them together straight away. Easily done, as the two socks are already heart to heart, so to speak.
Here’s a tip from the Galaxus Community: if you want to save yourself some folding, you can also just store the socks as they are, with the clip.
A saviour with two tiny flaws
The Sockstar saves us a lot of time. I don’t know how much exactly. What I do know, however, is that this tiny clip is a true saviour – of lost socks, but especially of lost nerves.
Nevertheless, as much as I love the Sockstar, I have to admit the following:

Darina.Schweizer@digitecgalaxus.chI like anything that has four legs or roots. The books I enjoy let me peer into the abyss of the human psyche. Unlike those wretched mountains that are forever blocking the view – especially of the sea. Lighthouses are a great place for getting some fresh air too, you know?
