Cleaning algae, mold, fungus, mildew from your rocks

If you have rocks that has algae, mold, fungus, mildew on them try this. It works great.

Take a small plastic pale, about a three-gallon size. Pour one gallon of Clorox Bleach and one gallon of tap water into the bucket. Take the rocks that you want to clean and ease them down into the water/bleach mixture. Set it somewhere outside where the geese can’t get into it. Let it sit for one day. Take your pretty rocks out, spread them on a surface and rinse them thoroughly with water. Then let them sit outside for a couple of hours until they dry. Be sure not to get the bleach or water/mixture on your cloths. It is like an acid and will bleach out a spot where it got on your cloths. Be careful.

Any algae, mold, fungus, or mildew that had been on your pretty rocks will be gone.

This is recommended for algae, mold, fungus, or mildew only. This will not clean off calcite or rust deposits.
