Optional - run your washer in a hot rinse cycle to remove all soap residue (normally only necessary in older machines).
Wash socks in hot water with 3 cap fulls (teaspoons) straight bleach (Sodium hypochlorite with no additives). Add an extra rinse cycle. DO NOT Use Detergent.
Place socks in a clean, chemical free environment to dry for at least 48 hours. Should you need socks sooner - place them in a bucket with 2 gallons of water with 1/5 teaspoon of Seachem Prime or similar chlorine remover for 30 minutes is this the best way to clean these?
