Are sock filters a one time use, or can they be cleaned? If so, what is the easiest way to do it?

thay are reusable.
I throw mine in the wash with a little bleach (no detergent).
I have two sets. so when I change them I immediately have a clean set.

thats why i got more is because i like to have at least 4-5 pairs to throw in the laundry, and then i can clean all my towels and whatever else at the same time. well, i mean i used too.:mad2:

Hey you can wash mine for me if that makes you feel more useful.

They are one time use only! You should give them to me once you have used them. I'll throw them away for you :lmao:

Thanks. Hey Jeff, since you aren't using yours, can I borrow them. I'll bring them back cleaned. Sorry, low blow.

www.filterbag.com is the cheapest.

Locally you'll pay around $8-12 each. At Filterbag they end up being about $2.50 a peice

usually 100-150 micron size bags will do the job any smaller they will clog quickly.

Glad I could help.

We just did an order with these guys not too long ago. I've ordered from them a few times now and every time it's the same way...very prompt and great service. Good shipping rates too.

I think minimum order is 25. I know there were a few more people that wanted some. So you could probably split an order of 25.
