[LonersBlaze]

how do you clean them?

Just give them a good clean in water, nothing special that needs to be done to them..

Throw them in your washing machine (assuming you have one!), no soap or softener. They'll come out almost like new.

This is what I do. Have never had any problems.

I agree withe washing machine. I use the sprayer in the sink first to get most of the junk off the sock. Turining it inside while in the washer tends to work great.

Can you use bleach on these?

When I used filter socks I used bleach on them. Just do a double rinse cycle and let them air dry before use.

I spray most of the gunk out of mine as well. You could bleach it but it would make me a little nervous.

I wouldn't use bleach, but you could use white distilled vinegar.. and then rince really well.

I've used bleach on them but like previously mentioned I run a double rinse on them.
