HI
CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF SUGAR SOAP IS AN EFFECTIVE CLEANER FOR HB EQUIPMENT BECAUSE I HAVE LOADS OF THE STUFF OFF MY BROTHER WHO IS A PAINTER AND DECORATOR AND WOULD SAVE ME PENNIES FOR OTHER STUFF


SIMO

I WAS MORE WONDERING IF IT WOULD AFFECT THE TASTE AND PRODUCTION OF THE BREW BUT WILL USE OTHER MORE RECOGNISED CLEANERS JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE

Its sodium carbonate, same as washing soda crystals, which I often use for cleaning. But it also has sodium phosphate and an abrasive added so you might not want to be using it to scrub your plastic FVs and stuff.
Soda crystals are a safer bet and are only about 70p a kilo and last for ages. But like chris said, its not a steriliser.
