Ive got a small piece of cork bark, a driftwood branch (I think) and a largish log that I use in my beardies vivs. Thought I would give them a clean so put them in the bath and poured over a few kettles of boiling water then added more hot water out the tap and poured in a bottle of bleach. Left them to soak for a few hours then rinsed thoroughly.

Ive left them out to dry, they seem to have went a whitish colour though. Firstly how long should they be left out to dry for and can someone please confirm that they will indeed be 100% safe for my beardies? Just the whiter appearance they've taken on is making me wonder.

Thanks in advance

Danny

i would give them another soak in hot water without bleach and id also use a scouring pad to scrub them then id leave them dry for 48 hours

A 'bottle'???? Think you over-did the bleach there a bit, mate!

I hope not.

the bottle had 750ml and I put about 15 litres of water in which would make it a 5% solution. Thats what Ive seen posted on the forum (5-10%) so went for the weakest option to be on the safe side.

Let me know if thats wrong?

nah, you should be ok. But I'd take the other poster's suggestion and resoak them in plain water for a while- cold should be fine.
