Wash it with rain water a couple of times as in dunk it then empty the water out and repeat. Check the tds reading with a tds meter which you can buy for under £10 on Amazon or eBay.
You are looking for a reading under 50ppb, the lower the better.

Do check the ingredients to make sure it doesn’t have fertilizer added.

Blessed are the "cracked" ... for it is they who let in the light.
