How do you dispose of OA bath solution after use?

 

[John]

Pour it on ground. It is the same thing as fence cleaner that you spay on and off on the ground. It is also in plants naturally.

This is what they said online but John is right. It is already very diluted in the bath and it is a natural product.


Although it is an acid, it is readily biodegradable when properly diluted and neutralized.

• Dilute the oxalic acid. Pour the acid into a larger container of ice water. ...
• Neutralize the oxalic acid. Slowly pour baking soda into the dilute. ...
• Test the pH. ...
• Pour down the drain.

So it won't kill the ficus trees that the city planted in the middle of the sidewalk?

Are you guys sure...? This topic was covered years back and pouring it down the drain kills bacteria in most septic tanks. Sure I spread it on the neighboors fence line, but was told never down the drain (septic) unless you have public sewer.
