Hi,
I'm very disappointing with Oxiclean right now.
I soaked my new 6.5 gal glass carboy in a < 1/3 strength solution of oxiclean overnight. I rinsed and rinsed and nothing is getting out the white caked on residue. This is a residue that many could overlook but once the inside gets dry and you are in the right lighting, it's all over the damn inside of the carboy. My water is not hard. Spraying water is not getting rid of it.
I took a carboy brush to it and it's STILL not getting of that residue.. I can see some brush 'scratches' in the white reside but it's caked on.
This was a NEW glass carboy that were mirror perfect. I only cleaned them because I noticed a faint odor.
And this is supposed to be a cleaner? I'm just amazed.
Anyhow, is there anything I can do to get ride of the white residue? I really need to finish a brew today and this is the thing that is holding me back right now.
(Any other recommendations to use something outside of PBW and Oxiclean would be beneficial as I would not like to use this again in the future. It's a bit over the top that this happened considering my water and the steps that i followed)
Thanks for any suggestions.
