Grandma put a sock on the vacuum cleaner. Now I know why. I started doing the same

Although pulling a sock over a vacuum cleaner pipe may seem unusual, it actually has some practical applications. With this very simple trick, you will quickly solve the age-old problem and finding earrings in the carpet will never be a challenge for you again.

Pull the sock over the vacuum cleaner tube. What for?

Small objects tend to get lost or fall. Unfortunately, finding them can be troublesome and, at best, time-consuming, so sometimes we simply write them off. Meanwhile, just try a simple trick that will make this task much easier. All you need is a vacuum cleaner and a sock. What’s the secret?

How to find an earring in a carpet? Reach for a sock

Dropping a small earring or earring plug on a patterned, paneled or fluffy carpet often makes it really hard to find it. If this situation has happened to you, don’t give up and try a clever trick. Simply take the sock out of the drawer and pull it over the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner. Now all you have to do is turn on the device and run it across the floor near the place where the lost item fell, and it will be found in no time. What’s more, thanks to the sock’s lock, it will stay on it and not be pulled in. Forget about tedious searching on your knees.

What can you make with a sock? Don’t throw away the wrong ones

Using a sock for searching is not the only interesting but unusual application you can use. Especially when you have many individual copies in your drawer. The socks are perfect for a lightweight glasses case, which will protect them from scratches (but not crushing, so remember that). However, after cutting off the material covering your fingers, you can use them to make curls. Tie the dried hair into a ponytail, then put it through the sock, divide it into two parts and wrap it on the fabric. Leave it overnight and in the morning enjoy beautiful, natural waves.
