Use of Caustic Soda solution in cleaning - 6/20/2004 7:11:31 AM    Tandy   Posts: 280 Joined: 6/19/2004 From: Netherby, South Australia Status: offline Greetings from Oz! I have read with interest the posts associated with the use of Hydrochloric Acid, to which I agree. I have heard, sometime in the past, that Caustic Soda solution (Sodium hydroxide solution) can also be used in cleaning bottles. Any comments? Tandy, Adelaide S. A. Post #: 1

An interesting chemical fact about Caustic Soda is that it will combine with manganese or iron stains and clean off the stain. Mind you, acid often has the same effect!
