One of my filter socks got in with the rest of the laundry so it has detergent and fabric softener. Can I wash it in hot water and bleach and continue using it. I normally just soak it in hot water.
Ive never run mine thur the wash but i do run a rinse and drain cycle with alittle bleach with the washer empty then run the socks thur on sanitize with a cup of bleach about every 3rd time i clean them.
I dont either, it accidently got in with clothes. I was clean and laying on the washer drying. I am asking if it can still be used if it is washed in hot water and bleach
the material is inert so id say it would be ok to clean it a few time soak and dry before using it again but for 10 to 20 bucks at a lfs id just trash it and get a new one to be safe
If you soak it and squeeze it out in bleach water for 5 to 10 minutes, I'm sure you can use it safely. The bleach will break down the other stuff (as well as the fabric somewhat). Rinse it well, stick it in a bucket of rinse water with some dechlorinator, then air dry it outside for a few hours.
