Cleaning

[dead dog]

How do you clean ( polish ) a dull satin regulator cans ?
They have a yellow coating on them and the hoses.
What causes this to happen ?

The cans can be scrubbed with most any dish safe cleaner or if really nasty, a few minute soak in a 50/50 mix of white vinegar followed with a scrubbing with an old toothbrush and tooth paste. The hoses you can just throw in the washing machine with a load of towels....seriously, that is what Bryan at VDH recommends. I like a little bleach in the water to kill bacteria...assuming the towels are color fast or you like white towels. As to what the film is...the first thing that comes to mind is smoking residue.
