Discovered something nice today...after getting some traps in that had some of that nasty stuff on them (DIP) I wanted to remove it. So I figured a gas bath and a brush would remove most of it...WRONG. Well...after a couple rinses and sitting there looking at them a lightbulb went off and I decided to mix a small test batch of 50/50 water and white vinegar and see how a soak in that would do. Here's the results (JUST rinsing...NO brushing) next to a trap that came out of the gas bath...





Was this just a fluke or am I on to something? I'm going to make a larger vinegar soak and put the others in there to get this crap off of them.

I take it you don't really care for a dipped trap?
Looks as if they were ready to go when you got them.

I haven't tried it for that, but to take the glare off new snares, an overnight soak in vinegar mixed with water works great.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

Well here are the results...maybe it was a fluke but it worked GREAT...Didn't even need to brush them, just a good rinse with a garden hose!


Here's a trap that just got rinsed with the garden hose next to 2 traps...one dipped with what I guess is speed dip and the other with what looks like a coating of F1 before they were rinsed off...



Here's a closer view of the rinsed off trap next to the speed dipped trap that has not been rinsed with the garden hose.





I decided to dump a few of the rinsed off traps in the sun on the way to the shed so you guys could see how clean they came...

Oh and if the brown vinegar is less expensive the day you buy it...it works equally well. Tom

The local "Sharp Shopper" joint up the road has white for 1.99 a gallon. That's about as cheap as it gets around here for any vinegar. I get a couple everytime we go just to stock up LOL...

I agree ... it works pretty good when only needing to clean up a few ... but when needing to do more than a few I've had good results just cold soaking in sani flush, no boiling or simmering , followed by a good power washing ... might have to spot brush a few stubborn ones

here's vinegar at work

I cut this vinegar about 70/30 (water-70 vinegar-30). I have been using 50/50 but I figured I would try a weaker mix and see how it would do.
