How can I make socks stay together in the washing machine?

Our answer

Clip pairs with washable sock clips or put each pair in a small mesh laundry bag.

Why this approach makes sense

The correct treatment depends on fibre, dye and care label. Heat or abrasive treatment can make some damage permanent.

Before you try it

Test a small area first and avoid repeating treatment if the fabric changes colour or texture.
