    Any suggestions for cleaning the inside of the kegerator? Beverage Air BM 23. I think the inside is stainless steel. The corners are a little gunky and there are some circle marks where the CO2 has been sitting. But the gunk in the corner is what I really want to get rid of. Thanks.

    Soap and water. Elbow grease. Use a new green scrub pad. Do not use steel wool. Do not use bleach anything. You can use some non bleach Fantastik too. Nothing special about it. My experience with cleaners made specifically for Stainless Steel is that they are no better than soap.

    Clean the outside of the beer line and gas line too, because they could use it.

    The rust ring is semi permanent and will return eventually. The steel CO2 tank always stains the stainless. If it really bothers you and you have stupid money or don't care you can buy an aluminum CO2 tank. Or maybe prime the bottom of the tank with rustoleum.

    Cheers

    The inside of my keezer is aluminum. I used bleach to annihilate the mold and ended up dissolving some of the metal. Not 100% sure if that was from the bleach or something else, though bleach, beer, and condensation are the only sources of moisture it's seen, so I think that's the likely culprit.
    I've simply accepted the fact that the inside of my keezer will never be pretty.
