Are Kitchen Pad Scrubbies Safe?

[Hartzell]

I just bought 10 of those no-brand 3" x 4" green scrub pads and I plan to use them on my W/D. Are they fish-safe? What do I do to make them fish-safe?
:help:

they should be. make sure its just the pot scrubber. nothing added... no chemicals.

You could always soak it in white vinager for a day and then another day in water then rinse really good. then keep it in your fish gear and never use it for anything else.

Some pot scrubies have anti-bacterial chemicals in them, which i assume would not be good......

some come pre soaped as well..

I like the JOKE!.... Okay mine is new too. I just couldn't resist. It's Bok Cho that has been sculped into food. It was to perfect.

I meant sculpted into Fish... just a little Freudian slip.

 

[loaches r cool]

These work much better than the pads... at least from a clogging/impeading flow standpoint.

I was hoping someone would post a picture. When I think of green scrubbys I think of those 3M type pads that are on the back of some sponges.
