How do you wash your filter socks?

[Ehgemus]

I have some 100 micron filter socks. so how do you get all the crud out of them?

I turn mine inside out throw them in the washer with oxy bleach, wash them and air dry them for a couple of days.

I can't turn mine inside out because they have the plastic ring on them. But I can still put them in the washer with just bleach?

Yep. No detergent.

I use oxy bleach, not chlorine bleach. Most people from what I've read use chlorine bleach.

I feel the oxy bleach is easier on the fabric and I don't have to worry about any chlorine residue.

i do the same but for safe measure run an extra rinse cycle. depends on your level of OCD i guess.

I just run mine in plain hot water in the washer

Turn inside out, hot water, bleech and washing machine... rinse 2 times let dry.... Repeat when dirty

Sure you can. If you have those little handles that intersect about a third of the plastic neck, cut them out to make it easier. Use a broom handle and just push it through. You won't need to turn the plastic part inside out, but getting the sock reversed will make it easier to clean.

I hose mine off in the yard first, then wash them in the washing machine. Hot water only.
