[NAFEX] Sprayer Cleaning

[Thomas Olenio <tolenio@sentex.net>]

Hello,

Could someone please instruct me on the proper method to clean a sprayer
that has been used for herbicide?

It is one of those 4 gallon backpack style models.

Would a thorough soap/water cleaning, followed by by vinager rinse, and a
baking soda rinse (sprayed till tank was empty) be the way to go?

My hope being that an acid/base rinse would neutralize the herbicide.

I also understand that the half-life of herbicide is short.  But a very
thorough cleaning is necessary in my mind.

Thanks in advance.

Later,
Tom
