What about what I hear about cleaning with oxyclean. I use oxyclean free for all my equipment will that ruin the alm pot

So a buddy of mine gave me an 8gal aluminum pot that he used for brewing but he didn't clean it out for what looks like a long time and it had mold and trunk in the bottom and sides. I have it soaking in dawn and scrubbed it with a scotch bright greenie so there won't be any deep scratches. But...

So we bottled that beer today and ended up pushing in the bung and did the plastic bag trick to get the bung up and it worked without a problem. My wife was really impressed how I got it out with a bag as am I. Thanks for a the help, Prost!
