Best way to clean tubing

[kat50496]

After racking my WE Chilean Malbec/Shiraz on Sunday, there were red "bits" inside the tubing. I did rack all of the liquid out after stabilizing and clearing into a seperate 1.5L bottle, so I carried over a lot of sediment. Problem is, these red bits are in the tubing (these rinsed right out of the racking canes) and they won't rinse out. I did rinse with Oxy-clean and kmeta, neither of which worked.

So, what's the best way to clean the tubing? Thanks

Here is an old thread, this works, but it really is easier to buy new tubing.

I agree - I would buy new tubing..

I have one of these

It will clean your hose, and bottles,babybottles,babybottle nipples and anything else you need to blast. Hot water all the way.

I use the compressor to shoot cotton balls thru the tubing.

Run hot water through it immediately after using it. So simple.

I use the same thing as Lanman, right after using it. No issue. Again clean it immediately after using it.

I always do rinse right after using, and have never had this happen before. This stuff just doesn't want to come out - guess I'll buy some new tubing, it is cheap, just an inconvenience to go out and get more. Thanks
