Citric acid solution, cheap as chips and easy and safe to use.

Works faster if you keep it hot/warm.

Wear gloves when you wash them after soaking. It's not going to burn you, just stinks.

It will sting a bit if it gets in a cut. It def works better warm I've found. I top the tub up with boiling water every now and again and stir it a bit.
