5* Review

“This is so handy for keeping control of my socks in the washing machine. They no longer hide in sleeves of dresses, tops etc. or disappear altogether and they’re ready to hang on the drying rack as soon as I take them out of the bag rather than being rolled up in a ball. I didn’t realise I needed this until I saw it online. Happy days!.” – Miss Pyke, via website

Comment from Buying

“Being part of a family of four, I spend more time than I’d like sorting socks after a wash, and everyone still ends up with odd socks – where do they go? This handy net bag allows you to keep your socks together in the washing machine so they come out clean and as a pair.” – Carly, Cleaning Buyer

Comment from Buying

“This is a fantastic garment steamer. What I really like about it is that it comes with a stand, so you can place it down in between steaming each garment. It also comes with a handy storage bag, which makes it easy for taking away with you. It’s got a soft touch finish, too, so is really nice to hold.” – Carly, Cleaning Buyer
