No, I do wash mine. I was having a little light hearted fun.
It did take me a while to figure it out though. Before I went to socks, I couldn't figure out why anyone would buy a single sock over a huge bag of filter floss for the same price.

We soak our socks in a bucket of 10% bleach solution for a couple of days then let them drain off for a few seconds before throwing them into the washing machine. Nothing added to the machine just water and run the socks through the full cycle a few times to give the bleach a good rinse out. Air dry and use as needed. Surprising how much stuff is at the bottom of the bleach bucket. The used bleach gets poured out on the stone driveway where ever a weed or two might be poking up.
