Save Socks from Prickles

Keep your socks protected from prickles, burrs and sharp grass seeds by checking footwear and outdoor clothing after walks, gardening or play. Remove prickles carefully before they work deeper into the fabric, then wash socks inside out to help clear away any remaining debris. Choosing thicker, tightly woven socks and wearing enclosed shoes can also reduce snagging and make outdoor adventures more comfortable.
