When washing filter socks in laundry machine then air drying do you guys worry about chlorine or chloramines getting into your tank water via dry socks?
I do not and Only wash mine in warm water- no bleach or soap and allow to air dry and doing this over 10 years

No, in fact I normally add about 25ml of bleach to the wash cycle to clean the socks.

Once rinsed and air dried any residual chlorine has evaporated
