SMART THINKING! I think I'm going to try that too. Do you not get any residues by doing this?

Correct. There is no residue when you wash first.

The solution is that I wash all my socks inside out before I wear them. This allows the material to swell and fluff while washing away any leftovers.

You See!!! I knew this thread was worthy...

Thanks Tim, great suggestion and one I'll follow since I recently received many socks for Christmas.

Given how most socks are made. Wash them the first time to get rid of/reduce the sizing and formaldehyde right-side out, and then reversed each time afterwards.

I was definitely thinking the white lint hides on your pasty feet.

I have noticed the same thing myself, though. Nothing bothers me more than having lint in my socks. Every morning before I put them on I turn my socks inside out and shake the hell out of em. I end up having to vacuum every 3 days but comfortable socks = a happy Mikey.
