OK. I'm sorry; I've read this somewhere, but can't find it with search. I remember reading there's an "easy" way to clean off artificial plants. I seem to remember it involving soaking in a salt and/or bleach solution before rinsing thoroughly and returning to the tank. Can someone link me to that or remind me what a good way to do this is?
Thanks

I just put mine in a bucket and fill it with just hot water and let it sit for a half hour.I rinse it again and add warm water and a capful of bleach,not ultra bleach!
I let that sit few an hour or until I remember it. I rinse with warm water a few times and then I let them air dry.Once I satisfied that the bleach smell is completely gone they are ready for the tank again.

Did mine about the same. Mild solution of bleach/water then into water with dechlorinator for rinsing.

That's a good idea with the dechlorinator. I wouldn't have thought of that. Genius.

I clean mine in the top rack of my dishwasher, they come out sparkling clean, don't forget to rinse well when you take them out.//
