Smiffy replied to dj's discussion Cleaners, sanitizers and sterilizers... Clarification please"I can only tell you what IS good with stainless. I use caustic soda for cleaning. 100g/litre for cleaning out kegs which had mould growing inside, 25g/litre for normal cleaning. Last time I needed some, I got it from Mitre 10, labelled "Drain…"
Houli replied to dj's discussion Cleaners, sanitizers and sterilizers... Clarification please"I know bleach will rust stainless and I read that long exsposer of iodophor will corrode as well. I have never had a problem with sodium percarbonate."
bart replied to dj's discussion Cleaners, sanitizers and sterilizers... Clarification please"Can anyone clarify which cleaners / sanitisers are or are not stainless steel friendly?"
Houli replied to dj's discussion Cleaners, sanitizers and sterilizers... Clarification please"Check out the sodium percarbonate on trademe. It's sold in 4.5 kg bags. They call it Eco-Friendly Pure Oxygen Cleaner. I don't know how the price stacks up with other brnds but it's convenient for me.

I like the sound of the Clorox Oxy Magic as im a stickler for bang for buck, thanks for that Pilgrim! 33% is kickass :) Yeh Tom and Rueben are top blokes who…"
Pilgrim replied to dj's discussion Cleaners, sanitizers and sterilizers... Clarification please"Clorox Oxy Magic (Sodium Percarbonate) from PackNSave is 33% active ingredient against 14% for NappySan so you only need half as much for only a $ extra.
StarSan rules, "Love the Foam". I always keep some mixed up in a spray bottle and…"
Ralph replied to dj's discussion Cleaners, sanitizers and sterilizers... Clarification please"Yup. Any Sodium Percarbonate product is good for cleaning. I think PBW is basically sodium percarbonate as well. Unscented homebrand type nappysan products are generally the cheapest way to get hold of Sodium Percarbonate for cleaning. Sodium…"
MrC replied to dj's discussion Cleaners, sanitizers and sterilizers... Clarification please"I agree with JackoNZ. I use sodium percarbonate for a 20-30min soak & brush for cleaning and starsan for sterilizing. Just make sure the sodium percarbonate product is unscented. "
