Oxiclean...two years and no infections

[NeverDie]

I run tap as hot as it goes for fermenter (fermonster), kegs and any bulk/large items.

If something needs a heavier clean, I'll add boiling water and raise the temp closer to 150.

Small parts like poppets, I set my electric tea kettle to 160 and soak in a small pyrex bowl with oxi. Soak until cool enough to handle.

You were so right about 160F.

Yes 160

Does higher than 160F work even better? There's no question that oxyclean works far better at 160F than it does at even 120F.

Believe it or not, I am occasionally right.

Regarding higher temps: yes, but, depends.
I use fermonsters so I'm cautious on temp for those. Usually only max tap water hot.

For non-heat sensitive items, I don't know that it hurts. I clean non-brew gear with a boil, kill heat and add oxy. Just did that in a stock-pot used for baked beans. Crusty burnt carbon layer on the bottom. Boil water, add oxy, cover till cool. Cleaning is a breeze.
