@Cal@kind.social oh no worries! My feet are prone to infections and regularly treated with salves and lotions. I found that the socks were leaving nasty residue on all my other clothes. I replace them regularly but can’t replace them every time so have been feebly trying to hand wash. It’s not going well.

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca Thanks for answering! So the mesh bag idea wouldn't work because it wouldn't solve that problem. A collapsible folding bucket washer is what you're looking for. The problem is they *suck*. Would washing the socks separately, on a high temperature wash, work? I'm assuming the salves are petroleum or wax based, hot water should break it down and stop that residue from sticking around for the next wash. Also a more heavy duty detergent might make the residue go away?
