The second option is suitable for more soiled socks. The soap should not only be applied to the fabric, but also dissolved a little in warm water. The socks should remain in this solution for several hours. Only then can you start washing.

Salt and powder

You need to pour water into a basin. Then add a spoonful of powder and the same amount of regular salt. Leave the socks in this solution for an hour.

Afterwards, you can even wash them by hand - the dirt will be easily removed.

Hydrogen peroxide

This method is also reliable and high-quality. You will need to pour two liters of water into a basin and add two spoons of hydrogen peroxide.

It is better to leave the socks in the solution for several hours. If the fabric is too dirty, you can leave the socks in hydrogen peroxide overnight.

Afterwards, you can start washing in any convenient way.
