Filter socks

[Gellisjr1]

I have been cleaning my filter socks by hand. I have just been rinsing them in the sink and using the spray nozzle on the sink to blast them. They do come clean but I am wondering if there is a better way. I don't want to put them in the washing machine do to ant left over detergents in the washer.i have three socks that I have been rotating out.

I do mine in the washing machine. Do it on hot with a little bleach, run rinses and then run another 2 rinses on hot with nothing else and let it dry

I have 8 filter socks and after each week I take the old one and dump it inside a bucket with a lid.

When I have 7 inside, I add about 3/4 full of water then I eyeball the amount of bleach I add but it's about 1/4 cup.

I leave it soak overnight then I throw them inside the washer on this cycle.

Heavy duty, cold, extra rinse

Then I leave them to dry for a week until next waterchange.


They don't smell and they look pristine.
