bleaching clay pots?

I've probably asked this before but is it safe to bleach a clay pot? I want to use one in a q tank but the only one I have was in another q tank that needs to be disinfected.

I don't see any problem with it as long as you wash it off real well afterwards.

Rinse it very well, then let it dry for a good amount of time. Any remaining bleach will evaporate.

Since clay pots are porous and may soak the bleach in I would rinse very well and soak over night in extra strongly dechlorinated water after bleaching. then allow to air dry.

Ok, will soak it super well after bleaching. Glad to hear it should be ok.
