Foot covers are an essential item when wearing pumps. They are small, and the problem is that one of them goes somewhere as soon as they are washed. Furthermore, since socks for three people, including my mother and sister, are washed in my house, I have to write their names on the socks with a pen, as if I were in kindergarten, so that everyone's socks do not get mixed up.

So when I found this item at the 100-yen store "Kandoo," I had to buy it.

Leave the sock washing to us!

This time, I would like to introduce the "Three Sock Washing Brothers," a clip for washing socks. The package contains three colorful clips, each of which is probably based on the motif of a clione.

The clips are about 5 cm
long
and can be used to wash a pair of socks at once.

I'll try it with foot coverings as soon as possible.

To use the clips, first remove the head part, then pinch the legs like a clothespin and place the socks between the clips. Then, put the head back on the clip to secure it in place. The socks will not come off even if you pull hard.

Then simply put the socks in the washing machine and wash as usual. Even after dehydration, both pairs of socks were firmly attached to each other. I was worried that the pointed part might get caught on other clothes, but after washing, it seemed to have no particular effect.

And here is the biggest point for me personally. You can hang it up to dry with a clothespinch or something with the clip still attached!

This eliminates the frustration of looking for a pair and shortens the time required!

Incidentally, the thin material came off when I washed it, so fold it over so that the part to be clipped is as thick as possible. In addition, please note that stocking material and use in a dryer are not allowed.

Thin materials should be sandwiched together to make them as thick as possible.

I was not quite sure why it was called "clione," but when I saw it swaying in the wind, I thought it might look like a clione drifting on an ice floe....

The swaying figure may be quite cute.

Now it seems that the socks will no longer disappear into the black hole called the laundry tub, but personally, I am still concerned about the pointy hands. However, I personally am concerned about the pointiness of the hand part (?), so I recommend putting them in a laundry net or using them separately from delicate clothes, just to be safe.

The three brothers are sure to be useful in the coming season when your feet will be light as well. The price is, of course, 108 yen (tax included).
