Can left over bleach in Filter Sock cause Ammonia?

[subman]

i used to bleach my socks for years in the washing machine with no extra rinses. never had a problem

[reefermadness]

From my understanding the ammonia will evaporate faster than the water so if the sock is dry than i dont think its possible.

+1, let it dry and ammonia is gone

I think the consensus is that you can bleach your socks if you want to but you don't *have to*. There are tonnes of people who do and tonnes who don't. If you do then you just have to make sure it's rinsed out adequately. In theory residual bleach could kill smaller organisms resulting in ammonia.
