beginner /noob help plz

what is this fermenter name? do they still make it?

My dad gave me this fermenter (FROM 1986 when he used can malt to make beer) and I let my father in law use it to make mash couple weeks ago ( and it work great )
but it looks like it has some dark stains and smells like wine
so would bleach or oxi clean work? (or do they damage the plastic?)

thanks for any help

Oxiclean or PBW should work fine to clean it. Name it Alfred. Or Hippo. I like Hippo.
 
I don't know exactly what it's called. Almost looks like a super old school speidel. I personally wouldn't use bleach as it tends to leave behind odors. Oxyclean and PBW both work fine on plastic. I'd also make sure the inside isn't all scratched up, if you haven't already.
