The Ms doesn't like the idea of fish poo in washer so I soak hydrogen peroxide for few days. Comes out white as new

I'm doing hydrogen peroxide also. (much stronger than chlorine)


- dry sock completely (H2O2 reacts with non-pure-water, you want this just not yet)
- Soak in a small pail (I use a 2 gallon margarine container, soak it for an hour, about 1/4 cup per sock, or 1/2 for 3-4 socks)
- rince with HOT tap water (I turn inside out during rinse)


that's it. H2O2 reacts and disolves to water and oxygen when all is done and rinsed/etc -- nothing harmful to go back into the tank!! no risk of chlorine nor possibilities of fabric softeners LOL
