    Default Cleaning buckets/ stainless steel?

    What is a general cleaner used for above items before first use of year?
    2 years ago used soap/ diluted bleach with alot of rinses and had no issue, but wondering if a better natural way?
    Soap then baking soda be better to neutralize 1 step of dish soap?

    I just clean with white vinegar, then triple rinse with good clean water. No soap in mine.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    Best to avoid soap as it can leave a residue, which will become concentrated when collected and boiled down. Most people use hot water, and if necessary, a mild Clorox (unscented) solution followed by copious rinsing.
