  • Removing Bleach from plas

    From Sid@1:278/230 to All on Tue Apr 13 12:59:00 2004
    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?
