the control effectivity when re-using uncleaned/un-washed socks on a continual basis for ten days.
The results were very acceptable. The protocol involved nothing more than hanging the socks up on a coat hanger, after removal, allowing them to air-dry for one day....and putting them back on (uncleaned) for the next
day's use. This involved two pair of socks to cover the drying interval. In one test case, addressing debris buildup, dust, etc., the socks were placed, momentarily, in enough new CS solution to completely wet them (dirt and all), removed and squeezed out over a funnel containing a standard paper coffee filter (we continued to use this filtrate as effectively as NEW solution). These, "rejunenated" socks performed as well as the initial units.
Even in the cases where the socks were, purposely, prevented from complete drying (i.e.
where they were hung in a damp atmosphere the evening after removal, and re-used the next day), the
beneficial effects showed no compromise. However, no long-term tests were conducted on this characteristic.
We found 5 ppm concentration to be effective, but considerably slower in establishing
control over existing bacterial fields pre-established in the sock materials.....than the 15 ppm CS ( 5 to 6 minutes versus 25 to 30 minutes....generally). 15 ppm revealed to be almost as rapid acting as much higher concentrations (up to 75 ppm)....and MUCH easier to generate without complication----most especially when using any of the "home-type" generation systems.
We DID NOT find colloidal silver to be an effective remedy for athletes foot, but
did find it to be an acceptable "preventive", when used on individuals not presenting with the existing condition.
I hope these comments are of some value to the list members.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.

I wonder if they are soaking them is a solution of some kind. when ever I looked they were out of big sizes. I have often thought about spraying CS on socks and let it dry. I wonder if you would want a higher PPM count or use the stuff you drink, like 5 PPM.
