So this is a moderate chemical. Not that dangerous to handle? Do I need saftey goggles using it?
You must properly dilute Star-San and follow the handling instructions.
When properly diluted, it is safe to handle. Safety goggle are not necessary but read the eye rinsing procedure if you accidentally point the spray bottle into your face. It does dry the heck out of hands. I sanitize up to my elbows. This time of year that gets COLD!
Starsan and any other no-rinse sanitizer can be both ineffective or dangerous if not used properly. If you do not dilute the solution enough, it is no longer a no rise sanitizer. Too little and you must increase the contact time.
