When washing filter socks in laundry machine then air drying do you guys worry about chlorine or chloramines getting into your tank water via dry socks?

I wash mine with a little bleach and then soak in RO/DI water with some Prime before I reinsert them.

No, in fact I normally add about 25ml of bleach to the wash cycle to clean the socks.

Once rinsed and air dried any residual chlorine has evaporated
