So I soaked my corny in oxiclean for too long and now have hard deposit residue along the inside, though mostly on the bottom.

Is there any solution for saving this keg or am I SOL? I have some bar keepers friend that seemed to work, but I'm thinking there might be another chemical/compound that might dissolve these deposits without have to scrub them off...my arms aren't long enough to reach the bottom.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated...
 
StarSan, CLR and maybe white vinegar should remove it. These are acids and will react with the carbonate residue allowing you to easily brush it off. I use these products full strength if the deposits are very heavy, but that's seldom necessary. CLR is the least expensive to use if you dilute it enough. CLR is heavily purfumed and often difficult to rinse, but it definitely does the job.
