Hey guys,
First time using oxyclean versatile free. Used 1/2 blue scoop in 5 gallons of hot water and bottles were spotless in less than 3 hours. After reading multiple posts on residue, I was planning on soaking bottles tonight in 5 gallons of hot water and a couple table spoons of concentrated citric acid for 6 hours. However, there is no visible residue. I do not have a bottle washer, I just filled bottles with tap water and brushed the insides. Is it overkill to proceed as planned or better safe than sorry?
Also, if I'm not delabeling, can I skip the oxyclean soak and just soak in citric acid?
Thanks fellas.
P.s. these steps are for cleaning only, I would still sanitize in star san on bottling day.
