I am not sure what to call this invention... so I have dubbed it a cable tamer.
Here is the problem:
The appliance is super close to the power outlet, so I don't need the 3' cable that comes with it. It's puddling on the floor, collecting dust and dog hair. So, creativity to the rescue.
I have seen this done with a toilet paper roll on Pinterest, but have devised my own 'laundry-proof/ fabric' design so that as it gets dirty (and it will, being so close to thedog floor) I can toss it in the washing machine.
I wanted a neutral colour that would blend in with the cable and I had just the thing - one of hubby's old neck ties.
I had previously shoved a tp roll onto all the cables and knew that it was a good fit, so I found the point at which the tp roll and the neck tie were the same size.
I then chopped out that section, discarded the innards (who knew there was so much stuff inside a neck tie???) then hemmed both ends.
I then went back and shoved the excess cord into it. The whole process took about 5 minutes.
Problem solved.
