How do you clean a filter sock?

The title says it all. I'm not sure about the best way to clean out my filter sock. I have been rinsing it out with warm water and then flushing with RO water, but it doesn't seem to get very clean.

 

soak it in hot water and bleach, run it through the washing machine on hot with a little more bleach, NO SOAP. Run through the washer again with nothing but water. If it still smells like bleach at all, soak in Prime or some other dechlorinator. Good to go...

Wow, that sound like it should work. Thanks. K+

 

They come out looking like new!

 

How often should this be done? As of now I am running the sock 24/7.

 

good info

 

Just as often as it looks like it needs it

We do ours every 3 days at the store

 

i just used to throw mine in the washing machine w/ some baking soda and called it a day always came out lookin new

 

great idea there i like both options

 

I have tried bleach twice now for the filter sock. First I soak overnight in bleach water, then I machine wash on super delicate two times. It does come out looking like new. The only down side is the huge amount of microbubbles created by the overflow while the sock is off.
