Hello folks
So here we go, my thought of the week arrived at work the other day when I washed my plastic sports water bottle. I hadn't used it in a while and water had sat in it. I emptied the water and washed in hot soapy water. I then ran my finger inside the bottle and felt the slime residue coating the inside of the bottle ( i know gross ) anyway, I rinsed with boiling water and so it remained, I took the bottle home and put it in the dishawasher and it cleaned the bottle. That got me worrying about my plastic carboys when not in use.
When my PET corboys get a bit of rare time off I fill them with water and VWP solution until next time I need them when they get a rinse to remove any bleach traces. I know you can but those drill brushes etc but I have never bothered.
Since I can't get my hands in the carboys to feel the inner walls, will they also retain a residue?? which obviously may impact on the wine or will the VWP be enought to keep them clean?
Anyone with any knowledge of this; I would be interested to know whether I should be investing in a drill brush or not?
Thanks
Billy
