Unhappy Old dead live rock with fiberglass insulation..

I just checked out my old rock from being stored for 10 years ago and the is old shreddedfiberglass bat insulation that some animal must have made some sort of nest out of it in the tub it was stored in....eeek! I have an electric pressure washer and wondered if after I physically removed as muchnas I can by hand, if pressure washing it would be good enuf? It is some great rock and would hate to trash it.

Probably ok after a pressure wash---but go over it with a magnifying glass and tweezers afterward just in case. If you find too much survived the pressure wash you'll be able to make a decision.

It should be o.k. I don't think it is toxic, not sure but none I ever used was.
