Re: Ammonia Scum - mba

17 Oct 2002

I have seen the scum which appears to be the high chalk content of the
water when using bleach and/or TSP to soak bottle.  I found it didn't
happen if I used water that had been through the water softner.  In my
house several of the cold water taps bypass the softner, all the hot
water comes through the softner.

 I've experienced a white, chalky film or scum after bleaching bottles
 and letting them dry instead of pressure rinsing them after the bleach.

 That's all I have to add on the subject.

 I have used ammonia to remove labels from bottles.  I have noticed that the
 some of the bottles that I have acquired this way have a white haze on them,
 inside and out.  Has anyone else encountered this, or what causes it?   Has
 anyone been successful at removing it?
 Thanks!
