cleaning the micron bag

[boxfishpooalot]

Hey guys!

I want to clean my micron bag so it looks new.

I usually just rinse it under tap bathroom tub water. Has worked for a while. But now its getting gummed up and wont come clean.

Would bleach work on the plastic type micron bag?

What other chemicalls? Maybee just scrub it with a tooth brush(ill use my girlfriends :lol: )

I just throw it in the washer without soap and comes out looking new (almost).

I was told by my LFS to throw it in the washing machine with a little bleach. I still have one dirty and haven't as yet had the courage to bleach it and then stick it in my sump!:confused:

Thx guys,

If you let bleached stuff dry out for a while, the bleach will dissapear. just make sure it does not have the bleach smell.

actually im not 100% sure on the drying out part, so Im asking Randy HF in the chemistry forum.

I throw mine in the washer with a cap of bleach then rerun in a rise cycle. Without the additional rise cycle my skimmer would go crazy. Air dry.

Throw it in the washer w/a little bleach, rinse again.
Make sure it doesn't smell like bleach, let it air dry.
So far no problems for me.

Washing machine on HOT water with a splach of bleach and a double rinse cycle. Been doing this for a long time and never had an issue.

I wash mine with a little dish washing liquid and rinse for a long time. Looks brand new every time and I don't have to worry about the bleach damaging the fabric.
