no need to filter a sugar wash. Just rack it off the lees

The lees are the dead yeast hulls along with any other solids in the wash that fall out of suspension and settle on the bottom of your fermenting vessel after fermentation is complete... also sometimes called the "trub" in brewing. Racking just means to siphon the liquid off into your boiler without disrupting the "lees" on the bottom of the fermenter. Get as close to the bottom as possible without sucking up any of the crud. That way you don't have to worry about your heat source (burner or electric heating element) scorching any of those solids and putting off-flavors in your distillate.

I usually strain mine to remove any additional solids that might not have fell to the bottom during the clearing process. I use either some cheesecloth or some grain bags that you can get from any home brew shop. It's really not nessecary to do this, but I like to take extra precautions to make sure my batch is in good shape before distilling.

I concure with everyone else, it wont hurt a thing to strain it through some type of filter. In this case it's just not necessary, you said it was a sugar wash so there shouldn't be anything to strain out of the wash but of course strain if you must. IMHO time is your best friend in this particular case, your wash will not be totally transparent anyway and that cloudiness will not filter out anyway but dont fret about it. Try to leave the bed undisturbed whilst removing it from the fermenter and then strain it into your boiler. Once you've got a few runs under your belt you'll see what we're all talking about.
