Lye Cleanup

[CiCi]

I fill a bucket with hot soapy vinegar water and I keep the bucket on the floor beside the area I'm working in. I put each thing in the bucket as I am done using it. Right after the pour, I stick my SB in the bucket and give it a whirl, then I wipe it down with a paper towel and put it away. My pot is usually scraped pretty clean, at the pour, because I use a spatula. I then leave it til morning and run hot water in it to wash it in it's own soap. The day after soaping is an easy cleanup.
