Default How to clean filter socks?

This may seem like a dumb question but how does everyone clean their filter socks?

I just started using them. I am using a regular cycle in the washing machine. Both times when I put them in the sump my skimmer went crazy. I think their is some residual soap in the socks. Do I wash them without adding soap, add an extra rinse cycle or wash them under the tap after taking them out of the washing machine before using them?
