Do not use bleach in the soak or wash. Bleach tends to make whites dingy and grey. Also breaks down the fibers over time. Soak the sox in a 50/50 mix of hydrogen peroxide and warm water for a few hours or overnight. Then wash as normal. I use a few glugs of hydrogen peroxide and detergent when I wash my whites. Whitens and safer than bleach. Most oxygen based detergents are peroxide based.

I add a little 20 Mule Team Borax to the wash. Borax is good for a lot of household cleaning.
