Review: A Powerful Cleaning Solution for Sparkling Results - Five Star PBW Review - I recently had the pleasure of using Five Star PBW, and I must say it's an outstanding non-caustic alkaline cleaner that exceeded my expectations. As an avid homebrewer, I've tried various cleaning solutions, but PBW stands out as a true game-changer. First and foremost, the cleaning power of PBW is unparalleled. It effortlessly removes stubborn stains, grime, and residue from a wide range of surfaces. From stainless steel equipment to glass carboys, PBW tackles even the toughest cleaning challenges. It's incredibly versatile, making it suitable for use in brewing, winemaking, kitchen appliances, and more. One of the standout features of PBW is its non-caustic nature. Unlike some harsh chemicals, PBW is gentle on surfaces, making it safe to use on delicate materials without causing damage or corrosion. This non-caustic formulation gives me peace of mind, knowing that I can clean my equipment effectively without compromising its integrity. Another remarkable quality of PBW is its ease of use. The powdered formula dissolves quickly in warm water, creating a powerful cleaning solution. I simply soak or scrub the items in the PBW solution, and the magic begins. The cleaner effectively lifts dirt and grime, requiring minimal effort on my part. Even heavily soiled equipment becomes spotless with a soak in PBW. Furthermore, PBW's ability to eliminate odors is impressive. After cleaning, my brewing equipment is left with a fresh, neutral scent, free from any lingering odors from previous batches. This is especially important for maintaining the integrity and flavor of my homemade brews. Lastly, the one-pound size of PBW provides excellent value for money. A little goes a long way, as a small amount of the powder is sufficient to create a potent cleaning solution. The resealable packaging ensures that the product stays fresh and ready for future use. In conclusion, Five Star PBW is a remarkable non-caustic alkaline cleaner that delivers exceptional results. Its powerful cleaning capabilities, non-caustic formulation, ease of use, odor-eliminating properties, and great value make it a top choice for homebrewers and anyone seeking an effective and reliable cleaning solution. I highly recommend Five Star PBW for anyone in need of a versatile cleaner that consistently delivers sparkling results.
Review: This stuff is unbelievable! - I needed something to clean my Stanley from 1978. 45 years of coffee stains in it and now it’s brand new. No scrubbing required and safe. Brewers use this stuff to clean their stainless steel equipment. I wish I took a photo of before I used this stuff, but take a look at what it looks like after a few scoops and some warm water. I left it in for 30 minutes and shook it a few times, then just rinse with warm water. Brand new inside. Now I’ve used it on my BBQ grills and they came out brand new and shiny. I made a tray of warm water and added a few scoops and let the grills soak. Unbelievable. I bought more and use it on all kinds of dirty metal like my Ninja grill and pots and pans. I haven’t tried it on other materials like plastic, but they say it works wonders. I was super impressed and happy to have discovered this stuff!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this food grade?**
A: This was originally formulated for the brewing industry so yes, it is food grade when used according to the directions. Keep in mind that it is a powerful cleaning chemical. Food grade does not mean "safe to eat." Follow all directions and cautions on the label when using.

**Q: Is this a "no-rinse" solution?**
A: PBW Is a cleanser, so you will rinse after use.  After cleaning and rinsing, try Five Star's "Star San" which is a no-rinse Sanitizer.

**Q: There isn't an ingredient label. what is in pbw? can it replace soda when making homemade cleaning solutions?**
A: PBW is 29% sodium percarbonate, 31% sodium metasilicate and 23% sodium sulfate. It also contains surfactants and chelaters (5% each) and a gelling agent (7%). I don't know if that would replace soda when making homemade cleaning solutions, but hopefully this information will be helpful.

**Q: Will this work plastic to clean water reservoirs like camel-bak?**
A: It would work well I think with some soaking to clean gunk out of the bladder and tubing. I've used it on plastic brewing equipment without problems, although nothing as soft and flexible as a Camelbak bladder. Be sure to rinse really well!
