Star San, Saniclean, and PBW Shelf Life?

Anyone know what it is? I stopped brewing for a while and want to know if I should get new chemicals.

Test the StarSan by mixing a solution. If the pH is 3 then you are good.

If the PBW is caked into a solid rock replace it.

Awesome. What about the Saniclean? PBW is still powder. Should it should be good right?

I have no experience with SaniClean.

The PBW should be good.

Awesome thanks.... Tested the PBW tonight. Seems to be just fine. Not sure about the best way to test the SaniClean and StarSan as I don't have pH paper. I'll have to get some. But it seems like it should still be good.
