    got the vinegar and a tub but do we know what effect this will have on the piston and bore of a calliper?

    also can the vinegar be re-used or is it a one shot job?

    And descaling kettle filters and kettles, showerheads, good for azaleas, bee stings, dog/cat pee, use white vinegar, it neutralises the smell, salt and vinegar paste for stained cups/mugs, removing price stickers. Very underestimated.
