I use pure vinegar and soak for a few hours. I re-use it a few times as well. It doesn't lose its potency, but neither did my wife when she almost used a bit of the cleaning vinegar in her cooking. Sheeesh, coralline is just a bit of calcium - it's good for you!

yup, its bleach. I just have a 5 gal bucket with a tight fitting lid (one for making wine) and I keep reusing it, probably get a years worth of cleaning for 15 bucks

Good ol' Vinegar....no longer just for my fries!

I also use a 10 to 1 ratio, but might start going with more potent mixes as well. I'm very impatient
