I wring it out first and then wet the outside with a blast from the faucet and squish the water towards the bottom scraping it as I go. I then fill the sock with fresh water from the top and wring it out again. Then Turn it inside out and do the same thing.
As the shampoo bottle says “rinse and repeat as needed”.
It takes about 5 minutes to get the brown spots out. Then I let it dry completely before using again, changing them out every 3-4 days. (I have three socks)
I don't completely trust the washer as there are enough residual chemicals in the washer that you are bound to get some on the sock. I suppose I also have a thing about using RO water to get rid of all phosphates and then placing a filter in the washer with soaps that are extremely high in phosphates.
Besides, my wife would cause me great "discomfort" if she found out I was doing it in our washer.
