PBW safe to use on plastic?

[TheCookieMonster]

Hi!

I never see any mention of using PWB for plastic. I would like to use it for plastic and aluminum..

any comments?

I don't know about aluminum, but AFAIK it's safe to use on plastic. I use Oxiclean on my buckets and it's essentially the same as PBW.

Yes, safe on both.

I use PBW on plastic, aluminum all of the time.

Really?

I thought Oxiclean leaves some sort os crazy residue and PBW doesn't..?

The main ingredient in both is sodium percarbonate. I use generic Oxiclean and have no problem rinsing, but I have very soft water. If you have hard water it may be tougher to rinse off. There is a big difference in price, PBW is $6.99 for a pound the generic Oxiclean is $1.00 for a pound.

This is the key. If you have hard water, you might find the price difference worth it so as not to have to go to extra lengths to rinse the residue.

PBW has a number of active ingredients.
