100 is the standard.

I use clorox with wash and 2x rinse, then do a full wash again, nothing in it (big rinse)

I change them before they fill up (usually 3-5 days)

Mike... I have about 3-4 sets that I change out every 3 days or so. I use 100 micron socks and wash them by hand in a laundry sink with just warm water..no soap or bleach.
