Happy cristmas decorating week everyone!!!

I wanted to know how you all sanitize your phyto containers? Has anyone ised this stuff?

I heard that beer brewers use this to clean their brewing vessels. Thoughts?

I am not sure about Saniclean. I have been using Star San from the same company.

Do you have to rinse it out or use somwthing else to nutralize it?

I have isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle. I use it to sterilize bottles as well as surfaces and my funnel. After spraying it inside a bottle, I shake out most of the alcohol then add a tablespoon or so of water to rinse. I also use dilute muriatic acid to clean the crud from the bottles when needed.
Easy and effective.

I rinse it out a few times. I haven't experienced any issues. I have been doing this for a couple of years now.

Same! I'm far better at culturing phyto than I was at brewing beer, though. Hahaha
