Can you use bleach to clean the plastic plants in your aquarium?

Bleach should never be used to clean plastic plants in an aquarium. Bleach is a harsh chemical that can damage the plastic and release harmful toxins into the water that can be fatal to fish and other aquatic creatures.

Instead, you can use a mild dish soap and warm water to clean your plastic plants. First, rinse the plants under warm water to remove any debris or dirt. Then, add a small amount of dish soap to a bucket of warm water and mix well. Place the plants in the bucket of soapy water and let them soak for 5-10 minutes. After soaking, use a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe the plants clean. Finally, rinse the plants thoroughly under warm water to remove any residual soap.

Allow the plants to air dry completely before returning them to the aquarium.
