Cleaning Manky DJs

[DirtyCaner]

Hi Everybody,

I'm going to start doing a bit of wine on the side as well as my beer. Ive acquired a fair few DJs 2nd hand from various sources but some of them are pretty dirty. What is the best way to get these all nice and clean and into a usable condition?

Cheers,

DirtyC

Oxy action cleaner hot water and a demi john brush leave in soak overnight then brush next day

I found that if i added some vinager and rice to the DJ and shake and swirl around for a while it is very affective at getting all the **** off then clean with normal cleaner/steriliser. Hope this helps.

That does sound like a good idea! Will def give it a go, just one question...

Basmati or long grain???

I cleaned once an old plastic water container with sand and some cleaner that worked really well, but the rice will scratch less the glass. I guess sand is only necessary if nothing else helps.

Eggshells and bicarbonated soda do a marvellous job. Was a tip for cleaning thermos flasks and it works a treat. I always wash the eggshells first just to make sure no extra nastiest are added :thumb:

"The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible" reckons a short length of chain works wonders. Never needed owt more than a good soak with soda crystals myself

Did some seriously old ones with vwp/ritchies cleaner and a strong solution will lift the stuff off like magic.
