I have an old brass or copper #50 sieve that has many of the square holes, .011", CLR was recommended by some, others say "don't do it".
The sieve is used by geologists to "sort" material by size. Often, small rock pieces get stuck.
Ant help is appreciated.
No, placing dirty copper in distilled water will not clean it. To clean dirty copper, you may need to use specific cleaning agents or methods such as a mixture of vinegar and salt, or a commercial metal cleaner.
Acids are effective at cleaning copper coins because they can dissolve the oxide layer that forms on the surface of the coins, revealing the clean copper metal underneath. The acid reacts with the oxide layer, breaking it down and making it easier to remove. However, acids must be used carefully as they can also corrode the copper if left on for too long.
One effective way to polish copper is to mix equal parts of vinegar and salt to create a paste. Rub the paste onto the copper surface using a cloth or sponge, then rinse off with water and dry with a clean cloth. Alternatively, you can use a commercial copper polish following the manufacturer's instructions.
Depending on the strength of the hydrochloric, you may etch the copper.Believe it or not, the best thing that I have found to clean copper (or brass) is ketchup. Smear it on, wait a few minutes, rinse it off.
Yes sodium hypochlorite does react with copper. I did the test where copper was immersed in bleach and the parts near the surface where turning verdigris while the lower ones where getting coroded in a higher rate.
There is a product called CLR which is available in grocery stores which removes lime deposits.
There are a few different ways to do this. If it is a really thick hard limescale, you may want to use a commercial product like CLR or LimeAway to remove it. If it is not as bad, you can safely use a mild acid like lemon juice or vinegar. NO! specifically on the CLR label it says not to use on aluminum, copper or brass
YES! CLR can clean anything, darling. I promise, you will NOT be disappointed. But on the commercial, the shower drain thing, not true. It doesn't happen just like that.
Yes, CLR (Calcium, Lime, and Rust remover) can be used to clean water coolers, particularly to remove mineral deposits and buildup. However, it's essential to thoroughly rinse the cooler with water afterward to ensure no CLR residue remains, as it is a strong chemical. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines before using CLR on any appliance to avoid potential damage.
It's not recommended to use CLR in a dishwasher as it can leave behind chemical residues that may be harmful if ingested. It's better to use dishwasher-specific cleaners or vinegar for cleaning and descaling your dishwasher.
You can, but an oil based cleaner would be better. I use WD40.
This is not a recommended use for CLR. People have done this and report no adverse result's, but I would not.
soak it in CLR for awhile, then use an old toothbrush to scrub off the lime you can get CLR at any grocery store, in the laundry soap aisle
clr is whats it called or maybe mr clean has a product
yes you can it will work because i use it all the time and my shower is sparkling clean
It depends exactly what is in that well water, but generally I find CLR works very effectively .It depends exactly what is in that well water, but generally I find CLR works very effectively .
use CLR or anything with oxi clean, kaboom works pretty well.
