Filter Sock

I have recently began using a filter sock on the drain from my tank into my sump. After only 2 days I swapped it out with a clean sock. I must say it completely eliminated any problem of micro bubbles in the display, and the amount of detritus that it pulled out was amazing. However since swapping it out I am having a hard time figuring out how to clean it, I have tried rinsing it out with not much luck. Son any of you that use or have used any tips on cleaning these things so I can reuse them.

I run mine in my washing machine. First run with a little bleach, second run with just water. I just let them air dry for a couple of days and reuse them.
