I just figured warmer water would help it peel off easier from inside of the socks, prolly best to turn em inside out then I t don't think I really wanna use bleach lol maybe hydrogen peroxide but that's only if they don't out clean clean after washing with water only ...

You can get the 30% hydrogen peroxide and any Hydroponics store. Way more potent than the pharmacy stuff and cheaper overall

Bleach is not going to cause an issue you only use about a capful of it. I have stingray and have no problems with cleaning the socks with a bleach wash extra rinse cycle and nothing else.

I have done few things. I find that even used wash machine (WM) its not all clean and after 3 cleans of same socks you mine as well throw them away. Power wash does make the socks clean but I only did it 2 times and only weather permitted.
