I have a option of Wood Bleech, Bar Keepers Friend, and The Works. What is the best for general cleaning ? I’m not talking about ACL bottles by the way.
I think I tried everything possible, and aside from tumbling, dish soap,spong,and soft bottle brush is going clean it as good as anything. Almost forget lot of elbow grease.I have a option of Wood Bleech, Bar Keepers Friend, and The Works. What is the best for general cleaning ? I’m not talking about ACL bottles by the way.
I'm not saying something else won't clean it better, and if you find it please let me knowI think I tried everything possible, and aside from tumbling, dish soap,spong,and soft bottle brush is going clean it as good as anything. Almost forget lot of elbow grease.
Get a plastic tall skinny pitcher. Fill the pitcher with 95% water (preferably distilled). Mix: Oxalic acid (such a BFK), alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, salt (dissolved by heating over stove), vinegar, and Clorox. Please be conservative with the vinegar and Clorox as mixing the two in high quantities will create a dangerous vapor. This solution will remove: algae, dirt, and mineral deposits. The more acidic, the better.I'm not saying something else won't clean it better, and if you find it please let me know
WOW, how did you come up with that. I'll get my Haz Mat suit together.Get a plastic tall skinny pitcher. Fill the pitcher with 95% water (preferably distilled).

All of this stuff was things around the house. My goal was to make it as acidic as I could. Unless you have some kind of skin problem, you won’t need gloves. Just wash your hands right after you put the bottle down. Rinse the bottle and clean with a toothbrush. ALSO, the same mixture can be used MANY times. No need to dump it out after the first use.WOW, how did you come up with that. I'll get my Haz Mat suit together.
