    Hi Peter,
    Thank for the response - although it did freak me out a little. I couldn't work out how you knew BANES was my local council - then I realised that your location is in the right-hand corner! I have never noticed that before

    I'll stop pouring my Picklean down the drain then - I'll go down the neutralise option and find a suitable disposal facility. Having dry crystals will be easier to manage than liquid!

    With the whole "safe" pickle discussion - I remember the time my Mum was admiring my slow cooker and asking what I was cooking in it. Very quickly told her it wasn't for food and not to use it in any circumstance!!

    Disposal becomes a dilemma and there is no perfect answer, as you will see here: https://www.google.com/search?q=disp...ient=firefox-b

    Welcome to the forum. Dennis.
    Thanks Dennis - I think I'll give it a go as it seems to be a popular option.

    This subject has been well and truly talked out, so I hope you will forgive me for having one more go:

    Many of our members work from home, where there might be pets and children waiting to slip into the forbidden work space out of curiosity or devilment.

    Obviously they are looking to use chemicals that won't cause serous injury at the first lick. Dennis.

    Whereas I take the attitude that rather than subscribe to false notions of safety, proper workshop practice includes controlling access to all workshop chemicals.
