Expansion Bottle Clean

[pbar]

Just a quick expansion bottle clean, using just washing up liquid, amazing what that stuff takes off. Took a couple of hours, but that includes taking pics and deliberating which flamin tea towel I dare to post up on here!

Nice and clean for a couple of years til it's coolant change time again.

Items used -

1. Warm water
2. Washing up liquid
3. Kitchen sink
4. Scouring pad
5. Baby's bottle brushes (£2 for several from local ethnic minority shop)
6. Cup of tea (for celebratory purposes)

Once you start down this road mate it can get very lonnnngggggggg and winding Paul not that I am saying your Laser is in need of lots of work mate as from the glimpses I have seen of it your Laser is a credit to you mate

I find when I start on a simple cleaning job or project it always turns out to be much bigger due to my OCD kicking in

Dishwasher...

Personally I wouldn't really feel at ease placing 30 year old plastics in a modern 170 degrees Fahrenheit kitchen appliance with spinning arms and water jets.

Hehe I clean up after myself Peter so I'm a good boy. For larger parts the bath comes in very handy!

Currently in the process of doing mine. I've gone for the rice & water method as I have no baby bottle brushes to hand. Seems to be doing a good job so far.
