Is it safe to clean filter socks in washer machine

Yes I want to know if you can,and should put anything in like laundry detergent.

 

Just wash them with the rest of your clothes.

There are many opinions on this, but I wash in hot water with bleach, gentle cycle, then air dry.

 

I would recommend against using detergent. i used to use bleach, then soak in prime to ensure there was no residual chlorine left in them before putting back into my aquarium.

 

So I can but with no detergent even if it is thoughly washed and such?

 

I have never cleaned mine with detergent. I also used bleach. I did a second rinse in the washer, then dry on lowest setting the drier has.

 

So just turn them inside out and use bleach? Is this seeming to get them clean?

 

Keep enough on hand so that you don't need to use them as soon as they're washed. Mine will air dry for a week or two before they are used. I just throw them in the washer just as they are. They get torn up in my washer if I don't use the gentle cycle.

 

Sprayed off with hose, thrown in washer without detergent and then thrown in the dryer, das our way.

 

I have 3 right now. When 2 are dirty I throw them in the wash using hot water and no detergent or bleach. I run it 2 cycles and let them air dry a few days till I need to replace them.
That's just what I do and it's worked for me.

 

I run them through a normal cycle with some bleach and then use them in the tank. Never ran them through a rinse cycle or anything. Sometimes I even use them immediately after the wash if Im needing one.

Never had any problems.
