Deosan and Turbosan: Quick Question.

Gautama · 2020-09-05 15:37:49

I got a few 200 litre blue drums from a farmer to use as water butts for rainwater storage. I’ll use that rainwater to water the garden. The drums had contained Deosan and Turbosan. AFAIK these are detergents for milking machines and teat wash? As such I assume a good rinse out of the drums and they’ll be as right as rain…

Thanks.

They're simple detergents, an acid and an alkali, rinse out 3 times and dump the rinse and they're good to go.
