Post Vinegar PreWash 
Hi guys,

have any of you heard of cleaning your bio with vinegar?
any results?

Apparently it acts as an acid and neutralizes any soaps still left in the bio? can 1 combine this with a pre water wash?


Kind regards

There are some commercial processes that do an acid wash, I have always thought it is a bad idea with small scale production as you are converting the soaps back into fatty acids.
