  • Powerful yet gentle cleaning agent
Color: White
We have several vacation rentals near the beach. We do not use ANY environmentally damaging cleaners. We are committed to helping to protect the lovely oceans, but also because many of our visitors are allergic to perfumes and chemicals, we always use the least amount of them possible. I add PBW Five Star to spray cleaners or sprinkle directly onto to tough stains or built-up crud~even a tablespoon to the bottle of liquid laundry detergent. Sinks, toilets, counter tops are shiny, clean and smell wonderful. Laundry is clean and soft, ALL odor removed. PRO TIP: If you mix a small amount of PBW with a peroxide-based cleaner (Clorox makes a good one so does Pyoure) you have one of the most potent germ-fighting cleaners out there, without harsh, lung-damaging chlorine gas. I cannot recommend this product enough. As a bit of a clean-fiend, I really know my cleaning products. I NEVER buy cheap, polluting, health-damaging chemicals. Not a bargain in the long run. Okay, good luck! I'm off to finish buying another box of PBW. ... show more

  • This stuff is fantastic!
Color: White
I have never had my brew kettle or kegs so shiny and clean. Even with Scotchbrite and scouring stones, it was hard to get the corners/seams and around fittings clean. I soaked it overnight as instructed and BAM! Clean. My kegs were easier, just a 15 minute soak took off all the residuals. I also ran it through my taps and it cleaned out stuff I did not know was even in the lines! I will be putting this stuff on everything! Next up, see how it tastes on toast. ... show more

  • Great brewing glass cleaner
Color: White
PBW stands for Powdered Brewery Wash. It is a great cleaner for glass bottles and brewing jars! Note that it's a cleaner and not a sterilizer. I brew Kombucha, and it powers off any residue - it's not only a soap free cleaner, but has peroxide-like bubbling action to get off stuck on stuff. For brewing jars, it's probably overkill, but is necessary for my reusable bottles as I do secondary fermentations with fruit pulps. For bottle/brewing jar washing, I use 1T/gal in tap hot water and let sit for about 30 min and rinse. It hasn't caused any problems with my KT fermentations. I initially got the 1 pound jar, but I use it enough that going to the bigger size was more cost effective. The container says it's "A safe, environmentally friendly cleaner" but doesn't say what's in it, except for a caution that it contains sodium metasilicate. It gives instructions for use on brew kettles, food processing vessels, and says it can clean carbonized, protein or greasy baked on soils on fryers, grills, baking pans, cookie sheets, plates and silverware, and can be used in the dishwasher to remove stubborn stains from plates, plastic and glass. It does caution to avoid use on teflon coated items. ... show more

  • Must have for brewers.
Color: White
I hate giving 5 star reviews because I never read 5 star reviews as they're just too fantastic to believe most of the time. Let me tell you about this stuff. I bought some second hand kegs which out of 3, only one had some stuck on junk. I tried pressure washing the gunk out to no avail. Alas, I get this miracle cleanser in. One gallon to one Oz of this stuff. I used piping hot water with it and let it sit for 30 minutes, occasionally shaking the keg harder than a Polaroid. I had my doubts it would be clean. To my amazement, PERFECTLY CLEAN! I could almost see my reflection on a matte bottomed keg! I will forever use this stuff for cleaning post mashing, boiling, fermentation, racking, birthdays, funerals, hit jobs and childbirth. ... show more

  • The absolute best cleaner for burned-on crustification on all your glass and metal cookware (including brew pots and fermenters)
Color: White
I originally bought this product for cleaning up a 15 gallon stainless steel boil pot after homebrewing sessions. After seeing how it removed burned, crusty remnants on the bottom of the pot, I immediately realized this was going to be great for all of our stainless steel cookware. Actually, it's fantastic for any cookware (glass, metal) that has crustified or burned-on scuz. Fill whatever it is you're cleaning with hot water, add just a little bit of PBW, mix it up, and let it sit. All of that burned-on garbage comes right off. Stainless steel never looked so clean. It's a Christmas miracle, this stuff. ... show more

  • Great for Eliminating Grease and Stains
Color: White
Not sure why this has a rating for flavor. I definitely wouldn't recommend eating it. What I would recommend it for, is cleaning grease or stains off about anything you can imagine. I'll close the drain on my kitchen sink and add the appropriate amount and fill with hot water. Cleans my cold brew coffee nitro keg spotless and removed all coffee stains. Range hood filters for a standalone microwave range combo? They'll come out looking like brand new. Electric stove elements? No problem. It'll get rid of any grease and only leave behind the carbon build up that can be burned off when drying the element, then it wipes clean once cool. Definitely versatile and a valuable piece of cleaning equipment to keep on you. ... show more

Color: White
This is a great cleaner. I keep a small plastic container with a screw top with this stuff on hand near the kitchen sink. I reuse those plastic 59/64oz juice containers to blend/freeze my own juice with whatever is in season, watermelon, berries, banana, etc., and also make kombucha and bottle it in glass and plastic containers. A tiny amount of this with just a bit of warm water and shake around the container will remove any residue on the inside, unlike dish detergent and a lot of other cleaners. Once clean, pour same mixture into the next container to clean, a little goes a long way. 4 lbs will last me forever. I also bought some of that star-san rinse but don't use it because the residue from this washes away quickly with a couple plain water rinses. ... show more
