They do. I just rinse them at the sink. I'm not sure they clean the water as nice as the felt though, despite the same micron size. So it's a tradeoff but a small one.

When I switch out dirty socks, they sit in a small bucket of water until I run them in the laundry machine. Then I use a generous splash of bleach, and then run an extra rinse cycle.

Then the socks sit in RO water with Prime until they're used. At which point I just rinse them before putting them in the sump.

I have both. felt sock will clean lost of small particle while mesh won't. I can have my mesh in for a month without getting it clog up. For mesh, only last 4 days
