[Adamski]

How do you guys clean your filter socks? I read that hydrogen peroxide is a good way.

I just turn it inside out and blast it with a hose until clean.
takes about 3-5 minutes.

I have always just did my in the washer with bleach and soap and a double rinse and air dry

I do one cycle in the washing machine with bleach only and no soap in hot water followed by a wash with o soap or bleach in warm water. If I'm putting them right back in and they smell like a swimming pool, I also add some chlorine remover to neutralize the chlorine.

chlorine is a gas, once it is dried it is gone

Correct, but I don't dry mine.

Washing machine with bleach only , no soap and air dry ,... Been doing it weekly for years ,as stated above the bleach residue if any is neutralized as it dries. Never a problem .

Yup, inside out in the washer. Usually with no bleach but every once in a while I'll add bleach to whiten them up again.

Using bleach Doesn't hurt a thing ... But cleans, sterilizes and whitens them

I don't think I've ever heard of that. I guess it would clean them, but I'd have visions of fish poop remains getting on my next load of dishes. ?

If you flip the sock inside out, it'll all get cleaned out.
When it comes to your dishes, you're going to use soap right? The detergent will ensure you don't have anything the skimmer wasn't able to remove on your favorite dish.

Pressure hose...

I tried hydrogen peroxide on the last wash and that did a good job
