No-foam cleaner

Post by FatGaz » Wed Nov 07, 2012 1:24 am

I currently use Videne for sterilising, which I am quite happy with, but use standard washing-up liquid for cleaning, which is getting to be a pain with all the bubbles.

Can anyone recommend a no-foam cleaner - cheap if possible.

Soda crystals, at a rate of 1 tablespoon per litre of warm water. About 60p a kilo from Home Bargains.

I use VWP for my needs. Just under £5 for a 400g pot.

VWP foams when agitated. For a non-foaming cleaner, I use Brupaks Bruclean. Ideal for all your CIP needs.

Caustic soda (NaOH) cleans everything without foaming. Preferred application: hot 3-4% solution.
