Is it really necessary to wash your socks?
<|assistant|>
It is generally not necessary to wash your socks on a regular basis, though you should wash them after they have become dirty or soiled. Washing them periodically can help reduce odors and keep your feet fresher. Wearing dirty socks can also lead to unsanitary conditions and the spread of bacteria and fungi, so it is best to wash them regularly. In terms of washing machine settings, it is best to follow the care instructions on your socks to determine the best setting for washing them.
