Can cleaning results

[Step Back In Time]

Now do you just soak it in the lemon juice or is there a specific method to this?

I just put my cans in an container that is close to the size of the can to save on juice then fill it up inside and out. I let mine soak overnight.

My famous half & half can I first posted in here like 15 years ago. I call it half & half because I only soaked half the can. the other half is 100% non readable rust. Leon.View attachment 257044

That's neat. Did you use lemon juice for that?

Thanks a lot! I for sure gotta try this.

Yes it worked great I just found out about it not too long ago and I've been cleaning all my cans from before.

Yeah see the problem that I have is that most of the cans I find have been crushed and are too rusty so that I can't unbend them properly. Pretty disappointing cause I just found a beer that I've never heard of.

Probably a reason old soda and beer cans are starting to gain value - they were all tossed outside and have rusted away! I've cleaned a few on my own, either using lemon juice or CLR, though you have to be attentive with the CLR - it will eat just about everything on the can if you leave it for too long.

Good to know on the CLR, the latest can I found was a 50s bulls beer. Still crushed though.

Wow 50s is pretty good. The oldest I found was 60s.

 

[Johnny Rocky]

Yeah kinda an interesting thing around here is that there's barely anything before 40s - 50s and barely anything after.

 

[Step Back In Time]

Yeah, that is kinda weird.
