Every one gets holes in their socks and looks at them in confusion thinking there
must be a greater purpose. But wait don't throw them out just yet! I can help you save time and money with those little foot coverings and a little soap! If your like me racing around in the morning cooking breakfast or maybe a leftover plate and cup from the night before go grab an old pair of socks. Fill your sink or wash bucket (I use an old mixing bowl) with warm water and a little dish liquid like usual. Wash the dishes with one sock and use the other sock to dry.

We'll start with the kitchen first fill the sink or wash bowl (I use an old mixing bowl) with warm water and dish liquid. Wash all dishes using one sock for wet and one to dry. Then I do all appliances and countertops wet sock in right hand and dry sock in left. A quick wipe over the fridge, stove, and fridge leads to a complete clean kitchen in no time. Of course you may have more or less to clean but a positive experience will result from this.
Next I dust the living room and bedroom with the "wet and dry" including all glass, ect...I usually do my coffee table, windows, bed lamps, TV, basically the whole house...The best thing is dish soap is safe on just about everything and leaves mirrors sparkling. It's also cheap and cheerful at a dollar or so a bottle. No need for multiple cleaning liquids and expensive cloth towels or paper towels that disappear the moment you turn around.
Lastly I head to the bathroom where I wipe the sink, counter, and tub. Sometimes I even wipe the tub right before I get out of the shower. Talk about saving time! I save the toilet for last so I can toss the socks in the hamper. All that needs done is the laundry at this point. I use regular laundry for that surprisingly.
Here are some other tips and tricks for socks and dish liquid:
1. Put sock on mop or broom handle to reach cobwebs
2. Place a few drops of dish soap in a burnt pan and bring soap and some water to a boil to remove debris
3. Remember to wipe out your dryer lint because access dry lint can cause a fire
4. A little soap on a mosquito bite will take care of the itching
