Hi Folks,
We find using liquid detergents such as Joy and Ivory to clean production
vessels is not a good idea since they contain surfactants which are hard to
remove. It will require several rinses with hot tapwater or a trip through the
dishwasher. The glass surface is porous and is difficult to clean. If the
surface has residue it will cause agglomeration.
As a better example of the glass retaining something on its surface please
notice how a pickle jar that has been washed still smells acidic. The acid is
difficult to remove. It is best to NEVER use a pickle jar. Start with a new,
clean jar.
My recommendation is to never use vinegar to try to clean your vessel. It will
cause agglomeration in most cases.
I hope this helps you
Best regards,
Trem

hi Barb
what I found with using liquids to clean the utensils and mainly the jar was
that it brought the ppm up a little too high for me any way ...to proceed in
making a batch...my distilled water is usually around 00.1 which I feel
comfortable with ...you could try vinegar and then measure the purity of the
distilled to see how it measures up ...the alcohol has always worked ...
take care
Norm

Wouldn't plain ol vinegar be good to clear the bottles or soap
residue or anything else?
