Seems like I'm probably using too much OxiClean. I soaked some Sam Adams bottles in it that I drank last night to add to my bottle collection and they came out with a white film all over them. I wanted to get all the old beer smells, residue, and labels off easily (that worked very well).
Anyways, as far as small tubes are concerned (bottling wands, racking wands, clear hoses), they're really difficult to ensure cleanliness without being able to scrub the insides so I've been soaking them in OxiClean for a period of time and then rinsing and letting them air dry. What this is doing is leaving a white film all over the bottles and in some spots on the plastics.
What's the best way to do this? What do you use? Is the white film a concern for later batches?
