Why do I wear socks over house slippers when cleaning? This is a really cool lifehack

I have one friend who is weird. She constantly generates unusual ideas. I went to visit her one day and saw that the slippers she wore around the house were covered with nylon socks. I immediately wondered what the catch was. This is what my friend said.

All women in the Middle Kingdom do this!

A woman loses up to 150 hairs per day. They remain everywhere: on the floor, furniture, carpet. Hair attracts dust and dirt. And if you add animal hair to them, you get an even more depressing picture. To keep your home perfectly clean, you have to vacuum almost every day.

Women in the Celestial Empire struggle with the problem differently. The method is very original, but effective. Chinese women put nylon socks on slippers.

When walking, static electricity is created, which attracts all the hairs and fur to the caprons. Before going to bed, all that remains is to remove the collected hair balls and throw them in the trash. Can be done with socks.

I decided to use old nylon caps (with arrows and holes) for these purposes. So I don’t mind throwing them away.

Now I also wear socks and slippers when cleaning.

A friend convinced me that the method works, the hairs actually collect and remain on the socks. But I didn’t believe her, although I nodded my head out of politeness. When I got home, I decided to debunk the myth and prove that putting nylon socks on slippers is pointless and stupid.

I did everything as my friend said:

1. She pulled a nylon sock over each slipper.
2. I tied it with an elastic band for money so that the caprons would not slip.
3. I made a longitudinal cut on the top of the socks.
4. She stuck her legs through the holes.
5. I walked around the rooms for half an hour.

During my travels, I watered the flowers, wiped the dust from the cabinets, stacked the books, and played with my beloved cat Bison. Finally, the cherished half hour passed. It's time for the control test.

The life hack actually turned out to work. Hair mixed with fur was gathered around the elastic bands. Although at first glance the carpets looked clean.

After that, putting socks on slippers became a habit for me. I always do this when cleaning. Like my friend, I use old, defective socks.

Instead of nylon socks, you can put old stockings and tights on your slippers. The tights need to be cut into several pieces. It turns out economical. You just need to fix them on both sides of the slippers, otherwise they will roll into stripes.

And further. Half an hour is the minimum time. You can walk in slippers for as long as you like. The longer you walk, the more noticeable the effect.

Finally, I’ll add: socks on slippers look strange. This life hack is not for everyone. Many people are afraid of looking like eccentrics and prefer to vacuum the house one more time. I decided for myself that I would rather spend my free time on more interesting things. I do the cleaning in modernized slippers, and vacuum the carpets only once a week. There is no hair or fur at home! Perhaps someone, like me, will like the Chinese life hack.
