Greetings all,
     I saw the post concerning scraping the plastic foundation down after
AFB infection.  I am a big fan of the Rite-Cell foundation. When I scrape it
down, I also take it to the car wash and power wash it.  When finished, it
looks almost like new.  Would it be possible to disinfect the foundation
with bleach, or even a lye bath? Would AFB spores be able to withstand such
treatment?
Thanks,
Scott Moser
