Dirty carboys

[sampvt]

My last batch of red wine has left my 5 gal glass carboy with dry scummy marks on the inside. Ive soaked it, sterilised it and even placed grit stones inside to shake and clean it that way bit its not budging.

I cant figure a way to clean this, has anyone got any ideas please.

Have you tried oxiclean and a carboy brush?

Yes. That's it. It has a green cover on it. That stuff is great.

It also helps if you fill your carboy with water after you rack from it if you aren't going to clean in immediately. Once it dries it is much harder to remove (from personal experience).

My go-to method is always PBW cleaner. Mix up a batch and let it soak overnight. That stuff is amazing.
