soak them in bleach for a day then drain that water and fill it with more water and add like a triple dose of dechlorinator and like that soak for like a day..... then bake just for fun and extra kicks haha

nice slate it looks sweet...

yeah i got big enough pot to do that but should i like use dawn dish soap and take a brush and scrub them or just do bleach or boil them just want to make sure they are clean

DONT USE SOAP!!!!!!

 

[Toodleypops]

once soap is on it like never comes off and will poison your fish. if you're going to scrub use bleach and then dechlorinator

 

[freshwater freak]

ok i can do that how long do u think that i should boil them i will just use hot water to scrub them then boil them then bake but how long should i boil them

 

[Toodleypops]

i dunno,... maybe like an 10 mins or so, then let them dry and bake them for 30-60 mins
