perlite - pink bits

random peices of my perlite have seemed to turn pink, not sure what it is, my fc chamber doesnt smell funny.
But im a bit worried as i have not seen this. I had to take my 1 cake out as it needed to be dunked.
So while i am waiting, i took the perlite out, washed the fc out with disenfecting bleach spray, then washed the perlite several times with boiling hot water.
I have no h202 at the moment (plan on picking some up if i can get it 2morrow) so i used some salt washed thru the perile. and added a small sprinkling to the bottom of my fc with a little water in it, then dumped my perlite back in as a safeguard till i get h202.
I have used this type of solution before for cleaning my mouth out when i had a tongue peircing (when i ran out of mouthwash) and i have read a few posts about it before, but have not heard any conlcusive results

Lol all you had to do was bake the perlite for 30 mins to clean it.It is normal for it to change colors and could be many diff reasons why i.e spores,chaff,dust, etc etc

I was going to bake my perlite then i read a few posts that said it was not nesesary and that washing was fine.
Will bake it after my first flush.
Or maybe just use fresh stuff.
Have another 2 litres which i may use for a second fruiting chamber

My perlite gets pink too it's from the rust. I used to place my cakes on jar lids on the perlite and it makes the perlite different colours and some of them have ended up looking pretty pink.
