Today, I have a simple, zero-dollar cleaning tip. Instead of throwing away those old or worn-out socks, turn them into handy dusting tools. Slip a thick cotton or fuzzy sock over the end of a broom or coat hanger to reach hidden dust in low gaps, high corners and other hard-to-reach places. You can also use a damp sock with a little dish soap to clean steel surfaces or try a mixture of water and white vinegar for windows. After cleaning, use a clean, dry sock to wipe the surface and prevent streaks. When you're finished, simply wash the socks and reuse them. Cotton or other durable, absorbent socks work best, while slippery synthetic materials may not trap dust as effectively. A simple way to clean your home while giving old socks a second life.
