Bleach W/Filter Socks (Cleaning)

[West1]

I have a quite a few dirty Filter Socks and I need to clean them now...

I have 2 Q's.

1) Any type of Unscented Bleach (this is my biggest worry) with water.
Prime (Water conditioner) with Water untill Bleach smell is gone??

2) I read about washing them in the Washer... does this change if I have a HE Washer? I say this because I get left over Detergent where I fill'er up (Im probly not ganna use this but thought to post it incase someone does).

Thanks

I don't bleach them at all.

I just turn them inside-out and throw them in the washer (an LG HE model) with a load of towels. I use a little detergent (we use the scent/dye free kind) and they come out nice and clean.

Hmmm... You dont dip them in some kind of Water Conditioner after... just Plug and Play??

I hose em off also. In the colder months I throw em in the washer at the local laundrymat, they don't come out as clean so a soak in diluted bleach and a soak in fresh water and they come out looking like new.

Wife won't let me put em in our washer

I use bleach on occasion, but not all the time. I also have an HE washer. I just toss them in and run it without detergent. Then, put them back into use.

Thanks all. Ive rinsed them out with hot water and washed the best I can by hand... they are just starting to clog faster so I need to do a good wash on them now.

I'll try diluted Bleach then soak in Prime for a few days... Thanks

In the washer, no soap, no bleach. A water hose will never be able to get all those particles out, especially when you running 25 micron socks, those trap A LOT
