I know this is one of Deano's favourites!

Our 22 is currently out of the water & I have 25kgs of Oxalic Acid for err R&D purposes at work (No really it is for R&D )

Whats the recommended solution / addition for cleaning ?

Sewer Tubes ? I'd rather have a D**ncr*ft (Only Kidding)

Dissolve as much as you can in half a bucket of warm water. Probably about 4-5 heaped table spoons.

Slosh it over the white bits, walk away and have a fag. Rinse of with fresh water.

Oxalic acid is best for rust stains. It just washes them straight off. Also good for the brown stains on the waterline.
As a general cleaner it is no good, it works on a chemical reaction between the stain and the acid. Rubbing and scrubbing makes no difference.

For black streaks try Fenwicks caravan cleaner.
