Laundry bleach, which is a solution of sodium hypochlorite (those
"Moss, Mold & Mildew" and path-cleaners are basically bleach). Use it
at 100% concentration, it won't hatrm any shells except those with a
higher-than-usual conchiolin component eg Pinnidae, Pteriidae,
Isognomonidae, Torellia, Paryphantidae.
