PBW works like magic, no work at all. Oxyclean (I use Oxyclean Free) has been effective, too, and is cheaper than PBW. I think PBW does work more effectively, however, and also cleans my kettle valve with less contact time.Gail

Be sure to get the TSP Substitute PF (green box) and not the regular TSP (red box)I don't have any links or literature, only hearsay, but purportedly the folks at Five Star admit that chemically the combo above is virtually the same.
