So I just bottled my first batch and I'm trying to clean everything. I let my carboy soak in B-Brite cleanser and now it has some horrible white streaks coming up the sides that I can't remove! I tried LD Carlson easy clean but that seems to be the same thing?
 
Try some vinegar or star-san. It sounds like you may have deposits from hard water; an acidic solution should take those right off.
 
I second that. Use some warm star san... not too warm because you don't want to shock your carboy.
 
Thanks for the help!!!! The warm star sans took care of the problem.
 
I just fill 'er up with oxyclean solution (1 oz per gal), and leave it set overnight. Then rinse well with hot tap water (I use a jet washer to rinse).
