Changing the sock is part of my daily routine. I rinse it off with the hose, hang it over a fence post, and put another one in the basket. Once amonth? Man, you have CLEAN water!
I didn't say I CLEAN it once a month--I said I REPLACE it once a month. I CLEAN it every single day, and in late May early June twice a day (heavy pollen). After a month it gets pretty worn out and I throw it away. Why do you bother to dry it on the fence post?
