A lot of threads discuss the use of active oxygen cleansers. Are these a direct replacement for products such as star san, i.e no rinse, or they similar to bleach/chlorine based products and need rinsing afterwards?
Some guidance on how to use this stuff on bottles etc would be very helpful.

Use it in hot water, and rinse thoroughly - as you would with soda crystals. It has a similar "soapy" feel to the solution.

Oxy is a cleaner and needs to be rinsed off, it does not sanitise, it just cleans. Very useful for shifting stubborn dirt.
Starsan and videne are no rinse sanitisers.

Re: Cleaning Agents - Oxy (insert brand)
Vanish "Extra Hygiene" WILL sanitise due to it containing/producing peracetic acid, but its certainly not a no-rinse solution due the residue it leaves like other oxys.

Re: Cleaning Agents - Oxy (insert brand)
Was intrigued by this stuff so checked it out in Asda today, it contains "perfume" unfortunately. Had it been perfume-free then I might have given it a go.Pinto wrote:Vanish "Extra Hygiene" WILL sanitise due to it containing/producing peracetic acid, but its certainly not a no-rinse solution due the residue it leaves like other oxys.

Re: Cleaning Agents - Oxy (insert brand)
And my starsan 8 oz still has about 3 oz left after six month. copied an idea from Orlando, made a big old mix in a cheap factory shop plastic container, keep it covered, check Ph every time I want to use it...goes on for ever
don't know where to get videne. As a small tip I find cleaning an fv straight after emptying really helps
