I have been using dish soap as a cleaner and Star San as a sanitizer, but I think I would like to get a more effective cleaner.
I assume that people generally use both a cleaner and a sanitizer. My question is is it okay to use something like PBW as a cleaner, and then Star San as a sanitizer? Obivously I won't be using them at the same time, but if I clean bottles one day with PBW, then sanitize them on bottling day with Star San, will the two be compatible?
I ask because I hear about not mixing certain types of detergents with cleansers, or cleansers with sanitizers because of a risk of harmful chemical reactions.
