Now use Squegee Off.

Put vinegar on your chips as Tosh said.

No good if you like loads of suds though. Dai

Post by: JM123 on November 03, 2006, 12:09:15 am: mmm chips :)

never put vinegar in the bucket, only used fairy or persil washing up liquid, tried Unger soln but didn't like it. Why don't you just try some 5% ethanoic acid soln??
