[Histonet] Re: stainless steel bucket

[Robert Richmond]

Amber McKenzie asks: Does anyone know where I can purchase a stainless
steel basket/bucket to wash my cassette lids in? We use xylene and
Liqui-Nox to wash them each day....

Several months ago I spent US$20 on a 7 x 7 inch, 1-gallon stainless
steel bucket with a loose-fitting lid. This item, made in India, is
offered by Gardeners Supply Company (gardeners.com - I have no
connection with them) to store kitchen waste in until it's time to
take it out to the compost heap. It replaced a truly gross plastic
container I'd had for several years. (In my kitchen not a lettuce leaf
falleth but it goeth to the composter. You should see my tomatoes.)

According to its online MSDS, Liqui-Nox is a heavy duty detergent,
sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, which I wouldn't think would corrode
stainless steel.
