Elbow Socks
A DIY hack using socks to help prevent the spread of COVID-19
Sneezing and coughing into your elbows and not into your hands is one of the advises to avoid getting and spreading the Coronavirus. As a reaction to this, Raw Color designed the Elbow Sock, a handkerchief for your elbows. It adds another layer to spare your clothes. An easy hack that everyone could apply. You simply look for that well-known single sock that lost it’s other half. Cut the toes off and slide it over your arm and you’re good to go. After use you simply take it off and wash it at 60 degrees. But when we apply these “Cough etiquettes”, what happens to the germs that we cough into our elbow? According to research, in optimal circumstances the virus could survive for five days. This might be the reason why various Dutch detergent producers see a significant increase in the demand for laundry detergents since the spread of the Corona Virus.
