Washing those socks

[simpson]

Never had a problem like you described. Instead of using a ton of bleach to get the socks white, try Simple Green. You can get it in the automotive section at most Wal-marts. The stuff is amazing. Had a mud game earlier this year and got home late - forgot to wash my clothes that night. Simple Green cleaned them right up, no spots or stains.

BTW - Do NOT use it on regular clothes - it'll eat them up. Never had a problem w/ football stuff, must be the material. Sometimes my socks wear out a little early, but they usually last a couple seasons.
