Cleaning artificial plants

[paulw]

I've got a couple of artificial plants in my tank and they've started to get quite dirty. Can anyone advise how best to clean them?

I spray mine with a hose in the utility sink when they get grungy. Don't use soap, you could try scrubbing them with a clean rag if they are really bad.

I soak mine in hot water (not boiling it ruins them) then I use a non-perfumed soap and rub them together and all the gunk comes off. The soap has no smell what-so-ever. I bought it at a pharmacy for myself because my skin is a bit sensitive to any soaps or lotions with perfumes in them.

After that I just shower them off in hot water for a few minutes to make sure no soap is still on them. I've done this quite a few times now and all my fish are fine.

Thanks for tips. I'll give that a go!
