If your family walks around the house in their white socks and you can never get them clean, dissolve a dishwasher cube or two depending how many socks you have in a bucket of water and let them sit overnight. The next day, wash as a small load. You won't lose any socks and your white socks
will be bright white from the clorox in the dishwasher soap.
A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.
