Old dirty socks!! How to remove permanent staging from the bottom of socks

[40andSporty]

So my DD is always running around the house and garden without shoes on god bless her, and the bottom of her white socks are just brown! I've tried washing machine, hand washed and even fancy stain remover gel. Please please help, I don't want to spend even more money on clothes!!

do not buy white socks
get her some slippers.

Vanish or own brand version - the powder you dissolve and then soak them - is quite good but you need to be prepared to scrub. It gets the mud out of ds's footy shirts like nothing else.

I am prepared to scrub thank u thank u!!

Teach your daughter that is is way more fun to wear bare feet than socks. This will prevent further sock staining.
Let her overhear you having a conversation about another pretend child who naughtily went outside in no shoes or socks. That should do it.

Life's too short for so much effort on socks, does it matter is they are a bit discoloured?

Soak with stain remover

Wash hot with bio washing powder

Bin them and buy black socks !

My DD likes white trainer socks , I thought I'd left all the white sock malarky behind when she moved from Infants (she's 16 now and wears those trainer liners)

I make everyone put their socks the right way round - everything else is washed inside out, not socks.
Hers go in a net bag and when she has a weeks worth the bag goes in a plastic sealed box (Ikea lock&lock type) and get soaked overnight in warm water and stain powder (currently have a mega tub of Astonish)
Then washed with whites.

When they get beyond redemption, they are recycled and replaced
