Is there a quick, easy way to clean the algae off of silk plants? Can I put in Clorox, then of course rinse, rinse, rinse and put back in the tank or will there be a residue no matter how much I rinse?

Thanks!

I don't know what chlorox is - bleach? The best thing to use is a bleach that is safe to use on baby bottles/equipment, or bleach that is very basic with NO "pleasant" fragrance, because the perfumes are dangerous

Usually if bleach or ammonia has a fragrance added it'll be noted on the front
of the label. This is used as an added enticement to purchase!

Myself I'd go for the baby safe bleach if possible!
