User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a "no-rinse" solution
Answer:	PBW Is a cleanser, so you will rinse after use. After cleaning and rinsing, try Five Star's "Star San" which is a no-rinse Sanitizer.
Question:	Will this work plastic to clean water reservoirs like camel-bak
Answer:	It would work well I think with some soaking to clean gunk out of the bladder and tubing. I've used it on plastic brewing equipment without problems, although nothing as soft and flexible as a Camelbak bladder. Be sure to rinse really well!
Question:	There isn't an ingredient label. what is in pbw? can it replace soda when making homemade cleaning solutions
Answer:	PBW is 29% sodium percarbonate, 31% sodium metasilicate and 23% sodium sulfate. It also contains surfactants and chelaters (5% each) and a gelling agent (7%). I don't know if that would replace soda when making homemade cleaning solutions, but hopefully this information will be helpful.
Question:	Is this food grade
Answer:	No this product is not food grade. A food grade chemical can be added to a food product and ingested. Yes, this product was formulated to be used to clean food processing/brewing equipment but it would be classified as an A1 material under NSF. This means it's a Non Food Contact Material, classified as a "general cleaning compound" approved for use on "food contact surfaces" as a cleaner but requiring a complete rinse with potable water with no residue remaining on the surface

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the 50 lb option come in one big bucket
Answer:	I would say about one inch. It will fit in the neck of a milk jug, but not a wine bottle or water bottle. I mostly use it for general cleaning of pots, pans, and plates.
Question:	Is there an expiration on the product. If so how long from when you received it was it
Answer:	Yes, I have used mine for this now and then and it works fine. I add a drop of dish soap to the top and after rinsing the muffin tins in hot water so that some is left at the bottom I just place the top in the tin and twirl it, it works well. It works on extra large muffin tins as well.
Question:	What is the shelf life of PBW once the container is opened
Answer:	The brush is 3" long, the brush with handle is 12 1/2 inches long.
Question:	Is this pbw a knock-off product or is it manufactured by five star chemicals
Answer:	Because the bristles of this product bend and it is marketed for the cleaning of bottles the product should fit through a 1.5 inch thermos opening.
