How to clean with caustic soda-Procedure

Things you will need:

1-Caustic Soda.

Step 1:

Mix the caustic soda with water depending on what you want to clean and how dirty it is. The clearer the water is the less caustic soda you have to use. If the water is muddy or you can see oil or grease in it, then use a greater amount of caustic soda instead of using clear water.

Step 2:

Soak the stained or dirty item in the caustic soda solution to remove any stains. Leave the item in the solution for about 12-24 hours depending on what you are cleaning. The longer it stays in the solution, the better it will work.

Step 3:

After soaking it, get a really dry paper towel and dry your item completely using just air circulating from a window or fan. Use a hairdryer if necessary (do not use too much of power).

Step 4:

Let your item dry completely and make sure no water is stuck inside using a hairdryer or by hand. Now you can use your item again!

Check if your town has sewer system before pouring it in any drain. Make sure you have properly washed your hands to avoid any kind of irritations.
