It's good to wash them. Just make sure to NOT use soap. Any leftover scents or soap can leech into the water over time.

Yep! A lot of people will wash them in a washing machine. Just do a water only wash

Water only with a small amount of bleach.

I run a rinse cycle to wash out any residual soap in machine. then normal cycle water only with socks in a garment bag. after I'm done with all the socks, I run a tub clean cycle/sanitizer so spouse does not get mad. I have not felt the need to clean these socks with anything else yet and have held up for 2 years now. I just have enough socks that I only do this once a month.
