I’ve just got a blue plastic barrel to store grain in but it’s had Corrosive ‘8’ (a chemical that can damage skin and tissue) in it and I want to know how I clean it out?

Jean Mansfield I had a neighbour use an old bloat oil container that he washed out and used for calf milk. All his calves died, a very hard lesson learnt. Anything that has stored chemicals I avoid reusing.

NZ Lifestyle Block it’s not safe to use these drums, even if you do wash them out – we recommend using drums that have held food grade products, not chemicals.
