best way to clean a filter sock?

[jacrmill]

How do you guys clean out your filter sock? do you just rinse it out really well in the sink, or can you put it in the dishwasher with or without soap, or even in the washing machine?
Thanks,
Jacob

Just turn it inside out & clean under running water; don't try to get it looking new, it'll never happen. You just want to get the crud out, not restore it to new.

I spray the crap out of mine with the garden hose.

I throw mine in the wash-machine with hot water. I don't use detergent but I know some people who use a mild bleach and just rinse them well afterwards.
