Did you know that today is the day of the lost sock?
To mark the occasion, we are solving a riddle that raises question marks in every household.
Many people are familiar with this problem: after each wash, the
second half of a pair of socks
is painfully
missing - the culprit: the washing machine.
But where do the swallowed items of clothing actually end up?
Socks in the washing machine: where do they go?
Of course, the socks don't just vanish into thin air - and yet they are simply nowhere to be found.
They disappear
in the rubber seal
on the washing machine door.
There they are drawn deeper and deeper, migrate further through the interior of the washing machine and even reach the heating element.
At this point they usually get stuck and gradually dissolve until nothing is left.
Disappeared Socks: How Can I Avoid It?
Sometimes it is inevitable that socks disappear, but the risk can be reduced.

when they are simply overloaded
.
It is therefore advisable to tie several socks together or to put them in their own wash bag.
