Having a pile of unused socks is annoying and it does is occupy more space in your house/room.

You may have a number of old socks that you have accumulated over the years and you think you have no use for, but it is time for you to put them to good use.

Below are some hacks to use if you want to re-use your unwanted socks.

  •  Use your old socks to hold your jewellery when you travel. The sock will provide cushioning and it can also provide safety by deterring thieves (hopefully).
  • You can use spare socks when you need to pack breakables like glasses or vases or use them as padding in boxes to help. They prevent breakages.
  • When moving furniture at home, put socks on the feet of your chair or table legs to prevent scratching the floors.
