Grey socks!

I’m sick of the expensive white socks getting filthy!

I thought I may be able to bleach them but then realised the black branded tick would ruin.

So how do you get them clean?

(The dirt comes from them wearing them to various sports and activities and I assume the grime from the changing rooms/areas,) Thanks

Are you using biological or non biological powder / liquid?

I put all white socks in a very hot wash (60 degrees plus) with sheets or towels.
Aldi powder
Napisan
Hang in sun where possible.

Buy non white socks

A saw a cleaning video on the Internet and the person uses ace bleach with whites that do have colour like the tick and it doesn't run. She washes her whites in the bath, and then they go in the machine after.

Depending on what type of powder you are using, you could soak for a few hours in warm water and baking soda, then add 150ml of baking soda to the wash.

Or soak with a bit of lemon juice for a few hours. Then wash.
