Oxi Clean

Many people claim to use oxy clean to clean their keggs and carboys etc. Is this the same type of oxy clean you find at wally world and pictured below ?

No what you want is the Oxy Free version

The lable where "versatile" is at will be green and say free

I disagree. That stuff you pictured works beautifully.

I can attest first-hand that it is perfume-free.

This is the stuff I've been using for over a year. Works great and i've had no taste issues. I do a thorough rinse after soaking however. You will find that your tubing will become cloudy if soaked overnight so u may not wanna soak the tubing longer than a couple hours. I also read where certain plastics can be made brittle when using oxyclean ie certain aftermarket site glass so u may wanna research that too. Happy brewing.

I use generic.
Just buy un scented and it's all good.

I use the regular stuff. Like shyanny said, just rinse when you're done and you're good.

I agree. That's all I've ever used.

If your tubing gets cloudy, use some vinegar to rinse it off, it's just precipitate from your water.

Thanks for the feedback

Ultimately, I don't think it much matters what kind of "oxy clean" type product you use. Scented or unscented, as long as you rinse your equipment afterwards you should be good. I've used scented oxy clean brand cleaner for years without any leftover scents; mind you, I don't leave plastic stuff soaking in it longer than needed (a couple hours at most). I like the idea of the Sun unscented that's cheap from the dollar store - I'll go for that next time

it all works...get the "Free" version if it is available, but the generic and version pictured work just fine.
