I never had a problem with it when I was a young man taking my clothing to a laundromat. I'd run my hand around the tub of the washer to make sure I found any sock that got stuck there. I did the same with the dryer. I would find one or two socks stuck there every trip I made to wash my clothes. Sometimes I'd make it home with extra socks and none of mine were missing. Socks can get stuck to the inside of the washer's drum during the spin cycle and if it's a front loader, you should rotate the drum by hand and feel around any area that's out of your line of sight. Static electricity can also cause a sock to stick to the area of a front loading dryer that you don't see so rotate the drum by hand and feel around for them. ^_^


Probably some socks wind up in a pants leg during the wash. I've
gotten to work a few times and noticed a fabric softener sheet
sticking out of my pants leg. Who knows how many have fallen out.
