I do the exact same thing. I usually do this in the evenings before adding bleach. About an hour later, the pump shuts off for the night with a clean skimmer. This helps keep the nasties out of my filter for when the pump kicks back on in the morning.

I'm still on my first sock, it's been used about a month now and has only been rinsed off daily, no washing yet. Perhaps I'll throw it in the washer with the next load of whites and see what happens.

Now if I could only find a decent weight to keep the basket from floating away...
