Oxiclean Residue

[phuff7129]

The only time I had residue with oxyclean was when my softener ran out of salt and I soaked my bottles in very hard water. I had to get the water soft again, do another soak and then scrub inside and out. Hard water is bad news if you use oxyclean.

Yeah so I'm a believer. Vinegar took this stuff right off.

+1 on vinegar.

Avoid getting to this by cutting back on your concentration. Use 1/3 scoop for 5 gal and you'll be golden. Also soak and rinse with same temp warm water.

My residue showed up after I dunked bottles, got busy, and pulled them out two weeks later.

At least most of the labels were gone. A couple were still surprisingly intact.

I soak for only about an hour in the hottest water I can find. Never had an issue with oxyclean residue and everything comes off.

Oxyclean with TSP at 150F is a nice mix. If you can order the 50lbs five gallon bucket of PBW it's as cheap as anything else. Hot PBW, cycled from one vessel to another, is a God send.
