Glass Carboy Cleaning ?

[ibglowin]

Yes, 4X concentrated. No soap. Kinda hard to find in grocery stores but Wallymart seems to have cornered plenty of it. 4.5 out of 5 Stars reviews on Amazon.

Is this the same as the laundry stuff?

The downside about using soaps of any kind is they just don't break down like Oxygenated cleansers do. Soap takes copious amounts of water to rinse off. Much much more than Oxyclean. Soaps leave films, Oxyclean doesn't as it breaks down easily and rinses away easily. That is my experience, YMMV.

OH.. Oxyclean dishwasher detergent. It is probably the same as the dishwasher gel that I use then..

Oh, John, you may want to check the ingredients of your particular brand of dishwashing gel. In searching for an answer to your question, I discovered that some dishwashing gels (Finish, for example) contain the dreaded bleach:

I do not believe that the particular brand I use has any bleach, but is an OXY type of detergent. I will research it.

I read somewhere that k-meta takes care of any chlorine remnants if you use bleach or dishwashing stuff with bleach. I just use oxyclean, warm water, and a carboy brush.
