Aldi specials

This is not a cleaner as much as a reconditioner because it's actually oxalic acid.. If you ever have any rust spots or marks on your stainless, you get out the BKF. If you damage or scratch your stainless, BKF. If you do any welding on stainless, BKF will re-passivate and protect the stainless.

screw aldi, I didn't realise about the recall so I made the trip in there this morning. Spent ages looking for it and nudda.

Aldi website (and Google) know nothing about this. Source?

Asked the manager at Aldi Tamworth. He may be uninformed, but said they pulled it off the shelves last night and it was being sent back to the distrubutor.

If it's just Oxalic acid, you can get it in bulk amounts from Bunnings as "Deck Cleaner":

I was just at the big green shed & found that the stuff I linked-to above is actually a mix of Oxalic & Hydrochloric acids.

The Cabot's "Deck Clean" is about 10% Oxalic (no mention of Hydrochloric) & works fine for passivating stainless.

Some story here on the Gold Coast...

I asked for it at the blacktown store. They had a pallet of it out the back, which they had yet to put on the floor, so I grabbed one jel and one powder.

When I got to the counter it wouldn't scan, the checkout bloke called the manager who said it had been recalled, and I couldn't purchase it

Damm

 

[DU99]

Same as this stuff $10

 

[Mick Gramoit]

Same here, went up to grab some and was told they had been "recalled".

 

[punkin]

Right then.

And now it's the day after, when everyone was promised a lot and given nothing...

I get mine from Bunnings, its in the paint section, same stuff different name, Diggers Rust and Stain Remover, $25 I think for 2kg so its cheaper from Bunnings and as pointed out in an earlier post it is just oxalic acid.

Just one more thing Bunnings used to sell S-Clean a no rinse quaternary sanitiser sanitiser but is still available from a lot of stores specialising in cleaning products. I think I paid about $16 for 2 litres and dilutes 70 ml to 430 ml of water and despite what anyone says about it affecting head retention is completely false I have been using it on my equipment and bottles for years and never had a problem.
For those interested just google Peerless Pro S Clean I think they are in Preston but it is sold all over Victoria.
Also it is used in the brewing industry

Can't remember how much I paid for a 500g jar from my local hardware store (Bunnings must sell this stuff?) but diluting at 100g/litre will get you 5 litres of Aldi BKF no worries.
Have used it at 100g/litre for stains in the past with great success.
