New Mixture For Cleaning

[Alabama]

I have found a cleaning acid to clean bottles, it contains phosphoric acid and works well, but you must have a license to purchase it

You dont mean hydrofluoric acid do you?
Phosphoric is mostly used for fertilizer.

Phosphoric acid, has many applications, also found in detergents.
Hydrofluoric acid also has many applications, one of those being able to dissolve glass. It is used to etch automotive glass for security reasons.
As with any acid(s), and/or chemical(s), I would advise doing your homework before venturing to far. Hydrofluoric acid, once absorbed into your body, from direct contact, can kill you relatively quickly. Needs about 2.5% body coverage to do so.
Please be careful. Class dismissed.

Phosphoric is used mainly for removing rust from ferrous metals. It hates rust but loves metal.

Hydrofluoric acid doesn't require a license to purchase as far as I know. You can get it by the gallon at any restaruant and janitoral cleaning suppler. Using it to clean glass requires good timing not to ruin the glass.
