Socks really can disappear in the wash. Tiny socks – no-shows,
toddler socks, baby booties – can be sucked into the wastewater hose or blown past
the dryer filter, where they either cause a blockage or float away. Socks can be
ripped from clotheslines (remember those?) and lost forever. But it’s more
likely your missing socks are simply misplaced. They can become parted from mates
while you separate lights from darks. They might cling to the drum and join a
subsequent load. Static may attach them to bedsheets, and you’ll find them next
time you remake beds. Or they never made it into the wash in the first place. They’re
hiding behind a dresser or radiator, waiting for you to deep clean. How can you
avoid sock loss? There’s strength in numbers: buy and use sock clips or do
loads with nothing but socks. Better yet, buy matching socks in bulk! You’ll
still lose socks, but you won’t care.
