Looks like that product might be worth trying on knickers.

But as far as socks go, I don't try that hard. A normal wash usually does the trick. And I just replace them as necessary if they start to get a bit dingy. I only go through 1 or 2 pair a year.

I ususally find that the white stripes get dingy quicker than the lower portion.

The polyester hose just won't let go that dirt. We need to ban that special athletic field dirt. That's the problem!

oxyclean

I had a game one night that was so muddy I considered throwing my uniform in the trash. My socks were solid brown. Knickers a complete mess.

I doused them in spray-on OxyClean and put them in a cold wash as soon as I got home. Once the washer filled I let it churn a couple of minutes then turned it off so everything could soak overnight. The next morning I let the cycle finish, then washed them in hot (not sure the temp) with lots of detergent and more OxyClean. I could not believe how white they were.

And unlike bleach, I haven't had OxyClean fade the black parts.
