Hylinur, I wash the socks with bleach, rinse 4 times and dry for a week. I have no worries about chlorine. But if there is detergent residue on the sock (as some have suggested there might be) I'm curious as to what happens to it once the sock returns to service.
The residue would have come from the washing machine. I don't have a washing machine solely for filter socks, yet.
I don't have a washing machine dedicated to filter socks and I don't have a blender dedicated to making home brew fish food----it just done when my wife is out

I soak all the sock in bleach until the accumulate to 4-5 then wash them twice.
there was a guy that did a seminar on these in Buffalo--claimed you can wash them in bleach and detergent with no problems---I could never accept using the soap--but I did buy the idea of soaking them in bleach.

Big question----sometimes I can still smell the bleach in them after they have been washed and allowed to dry--does that mean they still have bleach in them?
