I put them in the tub with bleach, let soak, pick the crap out of them. Then I drain the bleach water and get in the shower and kick them around with my feet while rinsing them. Then I use a strainer to give them one last rinse and put them back into buckets for use.

I hace a suuper small amount to wash, so peroxide isnt a bad way to go for me, but i imagine if you have allot of it to wash peroxide wouldnt be a good choice due to cost.

He obv puts them in the washer. I imagine it would work with the standard washer. You could catch any rocks that make it through the drain into a strainer if ya really wanted. I thought of this before but didn't want to risk any soapy substance getting on my rocks.

I put a little bleach in for the first wash. Then wash again, the ph the last wash. The small ones go right through and I have never had a problem. I've washed about 200liters of hydroton.

There is no way im putting hydroton in my 1200 washer...the tub works for me with peroxide or a small amount of dial antibacterial with a thorough HOT rinse!

Dont forget, if you rinse too hard you will always have red water. I start the wash with..in the wash... Whites load+ 10%bleach....colors load wash.....then delicate rinse. It's the same as making hash in the washer, you can run until it's clear water. I have a couple washers, this one is for hash. Sorry it's up side down, I dont know why?

I wash my rocks with first with bleach. I let it sit a couple hours then drain the water. Then I wash them with vineger maybe 30 minutes or so. This removes all the salts. I use some 5 gallon buckets for this whole process. Have done this for 3 grows now with no problems. Just thought I share with you all.

I put it in a big bucket and fill it with water, i pour that into a large colander and rinse, i repeat that twice, takes maybe 5-10 minutes. Has never caused me an issue doing it this way.
