Default Re: Cleaning Filter socks?

I put them in my cothes washer, using chlorine bleach only in the wash. (No soap, no softeners, no detergent)

Every washer is different, but I use the delicate cycle on the "heavy soil" setting. That allows for extra wash and rinse time, but doesn't beat up the socks.

After the spin cycle, I remove the socks to air dry.

I use five in my tanks and change them every week with my water changes.
