Hello listers,
I've been thinking about this for a while (about two hours) and
finally decided to ask. Is it okay to mix baking soda with bleach? The
reason I'm asking is because I've got a cowrie that has a lot of
dried, decayed flesh in it, and I want to clean it out. Since decaying
flesh is acidic and can dull shells (I once had a gem Cypraea zebra
that was ruined by this) I need to mix something alkaline (and
preferably non-reactive) into the bleach to neutralize the acid. Help
please? ;)

Thanks, as always,
Jetlagged James
