To keep my robobrew clean, to remove protein residue and such I bought myself Chemipro Wash - but isn't it same staff as generic Oxi cleaner (much cheaper) or does it have some extra staff in it?

Or maybe you can recommend something better to clean equipment after the brew?
 
I found a safety data sheet on the Chempro oxi, which lists it as sodium percarbonate. The recommended usage rate was 4 g per litre, which corresponds similarly to the one scoop per gallon with the Wilko Oxi that I use. The difference is that Chemipro is about £10 per kilo compared to £2 for the Wilko one.

Oxalic acid is good if you are talking of beer stone in the kettle. Commercial cleaners in super markets do have sodium percarbonate in them but is mixed with sodium carbonate. Better off getting 100% pure sodium perc. Oxalic acid you can get from hardware stores.

Just got back from Wilkos, my local branch didn't have any of the £2 oxiclean I normally buy only some £8 and £14 stuff. I hope its just temporarily out of stock.
