This is the first I have heard someone recommending patio cleaner to descale a drum…… Really?

New one on me.
Wouldn’t like to guess if it would work or not or, if it’d wreck the alloys.

I was more interested in how the OP managed to get his username accepted. 😉

He’s probably a tobacconist….. 😀
Re: Affresh or patio cleaner?
Used to use it a lot on recons to get the soap drawer clean. Just put it in a bucket of the stuff and It just eats lime scale, you see it fizzing away and brings them back to new, but don’t leave them to long otherwise turns the plastic yellow.
Never ever would I dream of putting it in the machine like that though!
Rumour has it they also use it in a diluted fashion at these car wash places that are springing up everywhere, apparently they get alloys really nice and shinny but obviously if they use it to much it eats the alloys away which is what I should imagine will happen to a drum support!Phil
Re: Affresh or patio cleaner?
Its Hydrochloric acid and will remove limescale pretty sharpish but left too long will turn silver drums black as it reacts with metals. Dont use it with bleach as it produces the gas that turned soldiers lungs to mush in the first world war.We only use it on limed up door rubbers where it works a treat.

Great news indeed, no doubt you do recons? Otherwise why mess with such a potent solution rather than simply replacing the door boot?
