I just bought a mini plastic bonsai plant for my fishtank today. The plastic kind of smells bad (that cheap plastic smell) and it says it is made in China. Just to make sure it will be safe for my fish and snails, is there any way I can clean this thing? The plastic smell is really strong and I hope there are no chemicals on it that can't somehow be removed...
 
New plastic does smell like that. Soak it in a tub somewhere for a few days?
 
I bought it from Petsmart. Probably bad quality, then...I try not to buy from there. I scrubbed it in warm water, hope that did the trick....
