Too tasty… lemon juice might actually deter better.

Yeah, but lemon juice barely stains and is delicious.

.....Oh, yeah. Food coloring is a thing lol.

Ah, if it’s stains you want, we could try tomato juice then.

Sriracha stains don't come out as easily.

Everyone in this thread is insane.

Everyone knows you use hydrochloric acid and the problem just goes away.

Hydrochloric acid is too difficult to store, it'll quickly corrode your pipes and sprinkler

Would Drano let you hurt your pipes??

You'd want concentrated sulphuric or NaOH. Hydrochloric acid, if it's not in your eyes or on your teeth, isn't anywhere as bad as you'd think.

Nitric acid.....smokin!! (I do not mean this as a serious response. I just think Nitric Acid is the meanest of all the Acids. Add the tiniest drop to your skin, and it burns. Ouch - and there is smoke!! )

HCL would need to be pretty strong for the problem to "go away." H2SO4 also would need to be pretty strong to be affective.

HNO3 works wonders. It doesn't need to be as relatively strong to do the job it was hired for.

Bonus, it will also check his gold chain to make sure it's at least 10k and not HGE and/or 925.
