    Aldi DSan

    xSAN and Sodium perc leave a slippery film on plastic that you need to wash off. Best Practice would be to use the Sodium Perc based stuff as a cleaner\soaker, wash that off and sanitise with a proper sanitiser.

If someone is offensive in my home, i would kick them out. But if someone is offensive to me on the internet, and im hurt by...
