That's a really good question. I've never even considered cleaning mine. I just dumped the dirt and refilled them.

Did you have a disease or pest problem last year? What kind? Rather than soaking in bleach is it possible to treat the liner w/ whatever type of insecticide (or what-have-you) that would treat the problem? Depending on what you're dealing with, Neem Oil could be the answer to a lot of problems.

I tossed out a lot of my coco liners a while ago and went w/ sphagnum moss instead. It can be a bit of work to get a lot of pots lined in the beginning, but I liked the look much better. Just letting you know of another option if you're going to have to spend money.
