This simple trick could save you $$$ in wasted cleaning solutions: Vinegar, Bleach. Citric acid....whatever... I’m sure this is hardly a original idea.

Its our salt mixing/storage containers that often has a unwanted and unsightly build up of salt & deposits. For a 32 gallon Brute container you would normally need 32 gallons of solution to effectively disolve and clean residue & deposits on the sides & bottom, basically a LOT of vinegars, or Citric acid to make a solution strong enough to remove deposits in a reasonable amount of time (“Reasonable“ being < 24hrs). Rather than fill the entire container with cleaning solution I realized you could us a lot less cleaner (approx 1gal) if you displace the solution with a bag of water. Pictures should be self explanatory
