We are often asked how our name came about – is it related to the red socks that mountaineers here in the Cairngorms National Park traditionally wore, or how about that rogue single red sock in the washing basket? In fact, during inception of the business, a 16 year old member of staff recalled her story of a red sock winding its way into her load of white washing and turning everything pink. Of course, this never happens in our professional launderette, but the vision remained and hence the name.
