No, it's fine to use bleach. Just soak the socks in RO water for a few hours afterward to get rid of any residual bleach before you add them back into your tank. If you want to be extra safe, add a few drops of a dechlorinator to the RO water that you use to soak the socks (such as Seachem Prime). That will get rid of any residual chlorine for sure.

I wash them twice. Once with bleach then again with no bleach then let air dry for a day or 2.

I wash with bleach only and then put them through an extra soak and rinse cycle and let them air/sun dry. I don't even rinse them anymore before I use them.

As long as you are rinsing very well there will be no issues.
