Brs as well as marine deppt have videos on their benefits to washing, recycling, and changing.
Buy a pack of 10 with the smallest micron rating (100 is great, but 200 is fine) and change them weekly.
After you have about 8, clean them under the faucet, and then hydrogen peroxide them in a bucket, turn them inside out and clean them, and then let them dry out and start using them again.
When you see a hole or they're brittle/compacted on that second rinse, you'll know to replace them.
