Cleaning filter socks without chemicals

[jasonrusso]

I've seen several threads for filter sock cleaning. Some say bleach, prime, pressure washer, etc.

I put mine in my washer (Kenmore front loader) with vinegar in the "soap" tray, run a steam cycle, and a double rinse. They come out like new and smell clean.

Wow you have a lot of socks... I just toss mine on the driveway and spray it with the hose until it turns white again. Quick dip in rodi water for safety and it’s back in the tank. 15 minutes for the whole thing.

Why do you prefer bleach? Why use a chlorine product when you don't have to?

My Redsea AIO uses filter sponges.
