she doesn't know. always do when she's at work. I just place them in a delicates bag she gave me (never asked what I wanted it for), first run the wash empty to clean any residual soap out, then in the delicates bag and run a soap less regular wash. do 3-4 at a time, about 15 minutes, then hang to dry). when I'm done I run the tub clean cycles with an Affresh tablet. recommended to clean/sanitize the washer once a month anyway. so I just bought 15 socks and do it once a month.
 
I have complete control over wayward nutrients.....read that while listening to this


they didn't remember the rules. no backs to windows, no backs to front doors. especially when eating pasta in an Italian restaurant!
