steve_b_wales Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Has anyone got a good recipe for 'homemade' case cleaner? I've always used Birchwood Casey cleaner, but have just used the last of it. I don't mind buying another bottle,as it would last me for ages, but if there's a home recipe, I'd like to try that.

cooter Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 A teaspoon of ciric acid, rinse off with water then a cycle with a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to neutralise anything that is left on. I use BC after the citric wash as it makes the cases shine. You can use BC many times, just put it back in a plastic bottle and let the residue settle, then pour it off next time you clean some cases. I am still on the first two litres I made up about three years ago, and that is after a thousand plus rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you buy citric acid by name, or is this a name for something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
