What are the laundry rules in your house? #CoSoQuestions #laundry
@scottyorange Sort! Lights, darks, red/purples.
I pin socks together. Everybody hates it, but I donit anyway. Should have done it when the kids were babies. (They're grown up and out of the house now).
I got better things to do than stand there pairing up socks after they're clean. They go in the hamper together, so I pin as I sort. If one decides to leave on an adventure, it's taking its mate with it.
Ooooh! Sock clips! I love me some sock clips!

Call me when you want to do sinks, drains, and brightwork! Or ants and mosquitoes!
I really really hate extra effort and I love "Stuff that Works". Mainly so I don't have to. 🤓
@Cosmichomicide What I'd like is a bathroom sink drain cleaner. We gum ours up fairly frequently.

After you do it once, it takes you no time when it starts to slow down.
@Cosmichomicide Thanks! I have some snakes for the bathroom sink, but not the cleaner stuff.
A few months ago, I complained about the sink running slow. Husband said, "Well, you have to take out the P trap and yadda, blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda."
Can't we just get a snake for the sink?
"Oh, no, you have to blah, blah, yadda, blah ..."
I attempted to do all that AND get the stopper out.
He had to look and see how I was doing, then, since I didn't "do it right," he went and re-did it.
He should have just done it himself to begin with. 🙄
After that, I found sink drain snakes on Amazon and bought them.
taking all the stuff out from under the sink was a pain in the ... back, shoulder, hip, etc.
Fair on removing everything, for sure. If it helps, one good cleaning keeps it running much better and longer than drain cleaner did.
Mr. Cosmic was pretty impressed by the improvements in drain snaking. 🫠
Send him the video and hand him the snakes. 😉
I just use diaper pins to pin the socks together. Diaper pins from 40 years ago are quite sturdy. More modern ones are thin and the wire bends too easily.
*sigh*
I'll have to look at those sock clips. Thanks!
I'm impressed! I'd look like a pincushion! 😝
@GeezerWench @scottyorange
Gah, wrong link. Those are too small. You want the nice big ones. Apparently the ones I bought ages ago have shrunk.
Laundry joke.
But, sock clips are great - there are a bunch on Amazon. No real specific recommendation.
