Cleaning of Display pieces

[joker3762]

I currently have a 100g tank, I is a fish only tank at the moment with decorative coral with some lr. My question is simple, What is the best way to clean the decorative pieces to bring them back to their original color and vibrance? I heard Bleach was what worked best.
Thanks

I soak mine in a container with water and a cup of bleach. Let it soak totally submerged for a day or two. Then let it dry for a day or two depending on the weather.
You can use some chlorine remover if you want to be extra safe. If you don't want to add it to your tank, spray it down with a spray bottle with some water and a little cl remover.
Make sure you don't do that to plastic decor.

I am not saying bleach is wrong, I would just be leary of the color fading. I use vinagar. Just put them in vinagar water and let them soak for a few hours. Then use a soft bristle brush to scrub them clean.

I have used the vinegar method many times, and is much safer and cleaner..
