In Praise of Worn Out Old Socks
By Chris Baskind in The Daily Footstep
When is a worn out old sock not a worn out old sock? When it’s a dustmop. Don’t toss that sock just because the elastic is all gone. Wash it, turn the sock inside out, and use it as a dusting glove. And nobody will say a thing if you wear them inside out and dance across the floor. Just crank up some music and get to cleaning. The slippy part is fun, but don’t takea spill. Before you toss — before you recycle — think about what secondary purpose that “useless” object might have (Thanks to Tina for today’s tip).

You can also turn them inside out and put them on a yardstick or broom handle to help remove those pesky cobwebs from the corners and edges of your ceilings.
