sanitizing

[rawlus]

some use dish detergent.. for me i think it requires too much additional water to thoroughly rinse and the perfume thing.

most of my stuff never gets absolutely filthy, PBW cleans it, K-meta sanitizes it and that has been fine for every need from equipment to fermenters to carboys/better bottles to wine bottles.

So Dawn and maybe other dish detergents are okay to clean with? I was told not to use any normal dish detergernt as they have heavy prefumes. I only have some oxy powder at the moment to sanitize and hadn't given to much though to cleaning just yet as i'm doing my first kit and only in the primary.

oxy powder is not a sanitizer. its a cleanser. clean with oxy, sanitize with a sanitizer.
