this is a pain in the ass! everyone knows it but a few runs ago i came up with a really quick and easy way to clean hydroton and it worked out wonderfully for me.
1. take some big trash bags with you to the grow store when you go to buy your hydroton (I'll explain later).
2. go to a self service car wash and pull the bags out of your car/truck and set them on the ground.
3. pop a few holes in the very bottom of the bag.
4. use the water wand set on high pressure rinse and stick it in the hole at the top of the bag (hydroton brand).
the pressure from the water will make the bag expand fully and seal the hole at the top around the water wand. this hot pressurized water will agitate the hydroton and you can move the wand around. I've found it takes less then $2.00 a bag and just a few minutes and they are spotless! when done throw them into the garbage bags so the extra water does not leak into your car and as a double benefit when you carry them into the house they are covered so neighbors don't see what you are carrying.
this is by far the fastest and easiest way to clean bags of hydtoton I've found. hope it helps some fellow growers!
