How to clean pond liner?

[Diskboy12]

Ok, so I finally foudn my pond liner tha I am to be using on my plywood pond in my room, HOWEVER....I realized my dad somehow got oil on it while it was sitting under our lean-to. Is there ANY possible way to clean it so it will be safe for my fish? The only thing I think is safe fo fish is vinegar, but I doubt tat will clean it up? Any help? PLEASE!?

Cant you just install it with the oil stain facing down?

 

[Diskboy12]

It just so happens to be on both sides...

Here is a link on how to remove oil stains from a garage floor. Looking at it, it seems that the items they are using are not terribly harmful once you clean off the surface after you remove the oil.

Pressure washer, ammonia, pressure washer. Should get it all. Run water over it if there is a shine to it re wash. If that doesn't work there are several microbial organisms that we were talking about in my micro bio class the other day that break down hydrocarbons on a molecular level. You could buy and introduce to the pond after you got it set up just to make sure there is no amount of it left in the water. Of course both ways you would need to physically wash the liner first.

Dollar store..walmart. Most any place that sells cleaning supplies

You can also use Dawn dishwashing detergent.

^The only problem with Dawn is that It could kill the fish.
