The Tumble Dry Debate: Is it Better for Your Socks to be Tumble Dried in the Dryer or Clothesline?

The Tumble Dry Debate: Is it Better for Your Socks to be Tumble Dried in the Dryer or Clothesline?

There has been much debate over which is better for your socks: tumble drying them or leaving them to dry on the clothesline? At Philosockphy, we believe in doing what’s best for you, and not just what’s most convenient, so we decided to conduct an experiment to see if there was any difference between how long it took the two methods to dry socks in summer and winter. We were also curious about whether wool and cotton socks dried differently, since wool can withstand higher temperatures than cotton. The results of our experiment are in the following infographic, and you can read the detailed report below...

Tumble drying your socks - the debate


sock subscription boxes are great for those who live an active lifestyle and don't have time to purchase new socks. Here's how they work: you subscribe, pick your sock size (sizes range from child/women's small-XL), and then get a monthly shipment of fun, colorful socks. The socks are made of high quality materials such as nylon, cotton, acrylic, polyester and spandex so they last long and are oh-so-comfortable. Plus with colorful ankle socks like purple ankle socks, blue ankle socks and green ankle socks available there's no way you can't find something you love! A sock subscription is a great gift too!

The pros and cons of tumble drying your socks


Tumble drying your socks is an excellent way to keep them clean and smelling fresh. However, if you want a little variety, you may want to consider using the clothesline instead. Both methods have their pros and cons, so it really comes down to what makes you happy. If you're looking for a more cost-effective way of doing laundry, then clotheslining might be better. If you're worried about static cling with clotheslining or don't have access to a clothesline, then tumble drying would probably be best. Whatever your preference is, we've got some awesome socks that are perfect no matter what! Check out our sock subscription service today!

The verdict - what's best for your socks?


A sock subscription makes a great gift for any guy who has everything, but not these fantastic socks! With three different styles of socks to choose from - crew, dress, and ankle - and an option to choose between a monthly or quarterly plan, there's something that will make any guy happy. Plus, socks are the one thing that you'll never have enough of so why not give them away every month?! If you're still not convinced that subscribing is the way to go...think about this: The average person will spend over $100 on their wardrobe this year and they spend less than 10 minutes picking out what they wear each day. So why not spend your time getting awesome socks instead of just another pair of slacks?
