I just wrinsed it out, turned it inside out, and washed it in the washing machine with a little bleach.

Is it ok to just toss them in a bucket and let the dirty socks build up instead of washing them 1 at a time ?

Will letting the gunk dry out on the sock while im waiting to accumulate more dirty socks be an issue ?
 
I just rinse mine, inside out, with moderate water pressure and hang dry until I have enough to do a load in the washer

I flip them inside out, bleach them in the washing machine, let them sit in a bucket with water conditioner to debleachitize, and hung until dry.

I let them build up in a 5gal, they usually stink a lot.

I throw them in a bucket until I have a full load, and then wash them inside out with or without bleach in hot water and let them air dry. Mine are also from McMaster Carr.
