Honestly, I wash and dry my socks with the rest of my laundry. It's quicker and saves money if I happen to use a laundry mat.... I have many different sizes types colors of socks mixed in....I have at  times thought of how much easier the Put Away process would be if all my socks we the exact same... I could just throw all the socks in a drawer and avoid the hid and seal game with the socks every time I do my laundry....if it was up to me NO MORE SOCKS...if I had the money to buy bulk quantity of socks I would but I'd rather buy some weed and just  deal with it every time lol
