    Just a reminder. Always add the acid to the water, never add the water to
    the acid.
    For cleaning PVC waste pipes I use a mix as strong as 50-50 but this might
    be too severe for a metal item. A weaker mix - say 5:1 left for a longer
    time should be safer.

    Regards,

    Andina Marie Foster,
