White Sock Soak

White athletic socks pick up ground-in dirt at the sole faster than any other laundry item. A dedicated overnight soak handles what a regular wash cycle usually can't.

What you'll need

• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• A basin of hot water

Steps

1. Fill the basin with hot water and dissolve the baking soda and lemon juice into it.
2. Submerge the socks fully, working the soles gently to loosen ground-in dirt.
3. Let them soak overnight.
4. Wash as usual the next day, checking soles before drying.
