Habitat - Indoor :: Do I have to wash or boil river rocks I bought?

Hi I just bought some river rocks from the dollar store. Do I have to wash then with soap or boil them? Or can I just rinse them? Thanks

Get a plastic tub (or use you sink) and add some hot water and repeat a few times. You can add a small amount of bleach if you have concerns, just rinse a few times afterwards and let it air dry before you use them.

Do not ever boil rocks.
