Puly Caff

Aside from using Puly Caff for backflushing and cleaning baskets etc. is it ok / safe to use on other things like a sink tap head i.e. making up a litre solution and letting it soak in it for 15 mins or so?

dutchy101 Not 100% sure…it might damage the chrome, 15m will probably be OK, I’m just not 100% sure.?

Cheers DavecUK I’m not so worried aboutt the chrome but there’s a plastic plate - could it damage this / make it unsafe?

I’ve previously used it to clean the bottom of a glass wine decanter plus wine glasses and an aerator and it does a great job on those

dutchy101 - what are you planning to get rid of? Limescale?

with regards to chrome…. I don’t think it damages chrome. It’s common practice to soak portafilters in PulyCaf. And those are chrome plated. Did that for 3 years with my Gaggia Classic. 😊 I don’t bother soaking baskets or bottomless portafilters anymore as I clean them up straight away. I did do that once, but it came back as clean as it went in.

Yeah just limescale really. I’ve got some Puly descaler in the kettle at the moment so could use that solution afterwards, but was just thinking of maybe giving the tap a clean weekly / fortnightly when I do my baskets etc

dutchy101 Won’t hurt any plastics

dutchy101 - wait! PulyCaf is a detergent. Puly descaler is a different thing. I would not put chrome near the descaler. It will damage it.

Excellent - thanks Dave, that a my main concern

Yes, thanks. Will only use the Puly Caff, not the descaler
