What are these “sane socks” of which you speak? Once they have traveled through the interdimensional portals in the washer and/or dryer, they’re never normal again.
That’s why you have to trick them into getting into the “sweater” bag. But they’re not only insane, but also not very bright, so after a few washings, getting into the bag is normal and natural to them... Most of them... Mostly...
I am overjoyed you have been able to train your socks fairly well. Never had the kind of success with socks you have reiterated. Me socks give me nothing but misery. Does acid in the wash help in turning the socks more toward the sane side? Me just using soap no Clorox. Maybe bleach is not acidy. Have some Acetic around here somewhere and pickle juice. Does pickle juice work?
