What do you guys use to clean flood tables?

I've used dish soap, vinegar, and bleach in the past (on separate occasions). Curious what you guys use. My flood tables have salt deposits on them at the end of each harvest from runoff, and I don't know if there's a magic sauce out there that I'm unaware of that does the trick better than any of the other options.

+1 on the h2o2
get the concentrated stuff (be careful not to get any on your skin), put it in your res, and let the pump run for a bit

Hydrogen peroxide will not sterilize. Use bleach at 100:1 to thoroughly wipe down to kill bacteria and fungus.

It will, and does. Especially if you use a less diluted solution. Bleach works too.

If hydrogen peroxide sterilized it would be used as a disinfectant in dialysis and in hospitals. It’s not so it’s not. It’s an oxidizer.

Citric acid in a very very mild solution, can be bought at chemist stores in crystal form...
