Mild oxyclean or PBW solution, then soak overnite, then rinse with water, then soak with vinegarized water, then rinsed with water, then your favorite no-rinse sanitizer, seal up, purge with CO2, and fill with product.

Why the vinegar water?

You'll probably also want to replace all the o-rings as part of the initial cleaning, especially if the keg ever had root beer in it.

Vinegar is used to rinse away any soap residue left behind. Many people use it in the washers rinse cycle to remove any detergent or soap residue left behind. It works great. I also use a mild rinse on my beer glasses.

Salute!

I see. I have never done that but I simply rinse very well between Oxiclean and Starsan.

same here, but I might try the mild vinegar rinse in my beer glass cleaning routine.

Also +1 on the replacing the o-rings when rebuilding those kegs.
