robhudson Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I've got a fairly new 90g and have cleaned my filter socks a few times but was curious what others do to clean them? I've simply been turning them inside out and hosing them down as best I can. Thanks for any advice. -Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderBlue Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I used a small amount of bleach and tossed them in my washer then after the bleach cycle I do another load with no bleach. A lot of people didn't do the second wash but I had like 20 socks so I felt it was safest to do an only water wash after the bleach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Z Reef Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 +1 to the bleach cycle. Then the extra wash cycle. Did the same as well. I would put them in a bucket with some hydrogen peroxide beforehand also, helps them not to stink so bad between loads and also breaks down the organics too. I just used a cup or so and would squirt a little more on the pile as I added more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
