Residue after cleaning cornie with soda crystals

Post by mdex » Wed Dec 10, 2008 8:02 pm

Evening,

I have just cleaned my cornie with soda crystal and am going to sterilise with videne but after cleaning there was a brown residue or 'scum' around the inside of the cornie?

Gave it a quick rinse with boiling water but what is it? Left over cola?
