Washing Socks

[mattevo]

I heard you can put these in the washer. I assume with no detergent? A little bleach? Or is everyone washing by hand? I bought a pack of cheap socks to keep on rotation faster but washing by hand is for the birds. Not ready to commit to another tech yet.

I use my Washer with a steam sanitize cycle and bunch of bleach, and then 2 quick cycles with just water.

I do also rinse the socks first to make sure any heavy stuff is knocked off before going through the washer.

Washer, with a splash of bleach!

I add approx 1/2 cup of bleach and water to an empty salt bucket. Add the sock that were turned inside out and lightly rinsed to this bucket. The sock will start to smell if I don't do that. The socks will sit in the bucket until I have about 24 socks to wash.

On wash day, I use a LOT of bleach in the washer. I do an extra rinse, added extra water, and a high spin. I air dry the socks. No need for RODI

I only use mine for polishing the water as I siphon the sand bed, or on rare occasions when my fleece roller is out of commission.

I wash them outside in the garden hose jet spray nozzle and air dry.

Wouldn’t put these in my washer, or the wife might whip me.

I keep them in a bucket of bleach water until I have enough to wash. I put in about a cup of bleach and run the washing machine on hot water with extra rinse. Then Ill run it again with no bleach and hang outside to air dry.

The wife won't let me use the washer. I use this instead. I change my socks out twice a week. I keep enough socks to last a month and simply wash them in vinegar with this machine once a month. Takes only a few minutes each month. Really easy.

I did wash mine from time to time. I did use a very small amount to detergent and bleach. I would also rinse and spin 3 times and let air dry for a day. Never has any issues
