wood basket with vanda plant please help!

Helo all,

I need a little help. I have a young Vanda plant that is in a wood basket and I have noticed that when the new branching roots get close to the wood basket they are turning brown. I know this is from salt buildup. The basket and plant are not that old. I only fertilize every other week right now. Is there any way that I can save this basket and reuse it for the same plant? I soaked it in a 10 parts water to 1 part bleach solution for about twenty minutes. WIll that reduce the salt buildup. Should I soak the basket in a purified water solution??
