Hello there.......I read your drift wood comment..
under "no circumstance" should u use deluted bleach...... nor only
will you kill your fish or perhaps plants that you might have.
I suggest rinsing it with salt water.or very well diluted vinager.
old wood has the problem of absorbing what ever liquid is being
cleaned with...so no BLEACH.
ya ok then so just soak it in a salt or viniger soulotion an then it should be ready since it has been in the st lawrance all winter im gussing ?
