Starsan vs Citric acid on scale?

Post by Kev888 » Mon May 23, 2011 2:33 pm

I've managed to soak a demijohn in bleach solution for too long (again!) and have got a scaly deposit on its inside surfaces. Last time I used some citric acid to remove it and it worked well, but I've run out.

Would I be right in thinking that a starsan solution is similarly acidic and may be able to remove it too, or have I completely invented that?

Cheers,
