I used Sodium Percarbonate for a while to clean my GF30, but found it prevented the pump from working (I think because it generates oxygen and it effectively causes cavitation in the pump) which is aright pain when trying to pump out the cleaning solution. I've switched to Chemclean which seems to work well. I'm using up my remaining percarbonate for the occasional bottle which doesn't come clan with the usual hot water rinse; a 1/4 to 1/2 tsp in the bottle with some hot water and the bottles come up sparkling clean. A double win!

OK I am in. TFR all the way, all the time.
Never had problems with it or its performance. Except recently with beer rock in bottles, which to be fair still needs TFR but also a bottle brush. In tests it could not be beaten, except for water treatment to stop the beer rock in the first place.
