It's always a good idea to sterilize LECA when reusing - so boiling is an option. Or, simply soak LECA in a mild bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) for a couple of hours - or over night. Then rinse with clear warer and you're ready to go!
How about adding water to the container and allowing all the organic stuff float to the top and then skimming it off! Might be easier than the fan technique although that is good too!
I've searched on here the easiest way to get plant material out, so I can clean it finally. Thank You!
That fan method is genius! Thank you! I spend way to much time picking every little piece out 😅
The fan method is mind-blowing, reminds me of chocolate making! How have I not known this 😅
Such a brilliant way to remove organic material!
Great instructions! Thank you for explaining using such common sense methods!
Thank youuuuu!! This was simplistic, doable cleaning method I can definitely keep up with. Thank you again! 👍🏼🙂
The fan is a good tip. Thanks.
Your videos are the best. Thank you
Thank you - very informative and helpful!
HOW OFTEN DO YOU DO THIS? AND IS LECA ONLY USED INDOORS? OR CAN OUTDOOR PORCHES/DECK PLANTERS ALSO USE LECA FOR SOIL?
How long do we leave them out in the sun?
Very useful. Thanks!

@@thehydroponicsguy2379 I like your idea about the bleach soak, cause boiling is a real pain. You give a lot of good info. Thanks for sharing.
I don't like to use chlorine, why don't you like to boil it for 15 minutes?
That should work too.
