Lidl W5 Oxy Power
Always after a bargain, I picked this up from Lidl. Can anyone tell me if it is ok for cleaning stainless kegs?
I've taken a pic of the ingredients.
Cheers

Yup, will be fine for all things cleaning
How much BTW ? My "best" price for generic Oxy stuff is a 650g tub for £1 from the shopping mecca that is Poundland.

Re: Lidl W5 Oxy Power
I've been using this, seems to do the job, although it does leave a white dusty deposit, if you soak things overnight, comes away with a light scrub or a hot water followed by starsan rinse.
Worries me a tiny bit but not enough to stop using it, anyone else find this?

Re: Lidl W5 Oxy Power
I only ever do a 5 min rinse with the Lidl stuff, haven't noticed anything. I use hot tap water too just incase the white bits stick to the bottom of the keg.
Re: Lidl W5 Oxy Power
Not sure you should be using this overnight as it will eventually eat through stainless
Re: Lidl W5 Oxy Power
So how much of this should be mixed with x litres?
And what is the contact time for sanitising?

Re: Lidl W5 Oxy Power
It's a cleaner and while it will kill a lot of bugs as well you need to rinse it , so your equipment is then not sanitised after rinsing. Use a proper sanitiser like star san after rinsing
I use it for about twenty minutes to thirty minutes, basically till it stops fizzing. Not sure on the amount, maybe a scoop or two for full FV worth, I usually only use it for cleaning bottles I forget to rinse, I use maybe a quarter teaspoon full for each one.

Re: Lidl W5 Oxy Power
I use this stuff. 1/4 teaspoon per bottle, warm water and left for 2-3 hours before rinsing. Star San before filling.
I only clean bottles for personal use. Always use new for sales.

Re: Lidl W5 Oxy Power
It's good stuff. Cleaned out my stainless Crusader kegs a few times followed with starsan and always spotless
