Title: Alternative oxy cleaner
Post by: googoomuck on December 05, 2014, 08:53:20 PM
Hi lads just wondering if anyone uses this, can it be used as an alternative to lidl WP5 (or whatever it's called).

Is that the Poundland stuff? Not worth a shite. Tried it once, straight back to Lidl Oxi.

It works, to an extent, but it needs continual persuasion, whereas the Lidl stuff can just be left alone to do its thang.

Bzzzzz 'Wrong'

Cleaners, clean

& Sanitisers, sanitise (& never the twain shall meet )

They really only do their one job properly.

W5 (or PBW or WVP or Youngs Cleaner or ...) to clean, follow up with StarSan (or bleach/vinegar mix, ...) to sanitise

You can also use W5 added to your Youngs cleaner to give it a boost, really gets to work on the high tide mark in FVs,  cornie posts etc
