That's why I said plain Clorox. Ain't that sort of like frigidaire, a
generic term now? And you're right muriatic is a dilute form of
hydrochloric, somehting like 27% instead of 30% and beats hell out of me
why the two names for such a slight difference. Probably the English. They
mess up the names of things fierce over there.
