Just curious to see how everyone using filter socks cleans them? And do you have a specific brand that you find works and lasts longer then others?

Thorough clean inside and out. Let soak in a pail of water with bleach for a couple of days followed by another rinse and left out to dry.

I flip inside out throw in washer with a cap full of vinegar and a capful of bleach. I wash on hot. Then flip rightside out and wash on speed wash with nothing added. Then hang to dry. Have had no issues thus far. I do a spped wash in washer after with a bit of soap to clean it out and keep wife happy!!in the warmer months i powerwash them and they come out almost new. And i change them out every 3-4 days.

Would this method work with front load washers? Would you put the bleach and vinegar in the drum itself? Or in the dispenser?

I just used water, twist the socks to get rid of ascess water than put back on to use. This is what I do and it work for me. I do this both on my 200g and 75g frag tank
