    I had a bad case of black/dark green algae growth and soaked the plastic plants in bleach, then rinsed and rinsed, ETC. But I am concerned because there is a slight odor of bleach still remaining.
    An 'expert' from Petco said that plastic plants absorb some of the bleach
    and that I should not use them.
    Any help from this newsgroup? Or is this 'expert' correct?


    Boil them? ALternatively soak them in a bucket of water with lots of
    De-chlor in it for a day or three.

    Or put them out in the sun for a couple days, sunlight will destroy the chlorine.
