Cleaning dry sweat off bike

[Javier]

I just removed my old aluminum bike from the trainer and noticed the
amount of salt left behind by my constant sweating. Is there a way to
remove the salt remnants off bottom of my frame?

application of hydrogen hydroxide should do it.

Shouldn't you mention the correct temperature range and the possible
application of the correct amount of surfactant....

I always found just rinsing with regular tap water did the trick with
aluminum; I guess distilled water or aquafina which has a very low ph
content and is one of the puriest waters easily available would work
even better.

Just add water. It was, after all, what the salt was dissolved in
when it got there.

I hope you mean "neutral ph," as something with a "very low ph" would
be acidic.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of remedy. I always drape a
large bin liner over the front of my bike with an old towel covering it.
The towel soaks up the sweat and the bin liner prevents it from getting
on the frame/handlebars.

Uh, does not one have to be a cow to produce more cow's urine by
drinking more water?

That's sweet. A cow with a shy bladder.
You should see what they do while hooked up to the milking machine in
the dairy.
Since Europa, there's been nothing shy about a cow.

I meant a shy cow as opposed to a "fresh cow". (Like, "forward" or a
/playa/.)

And as for that, distilled water is really bad for aluminium. A High
Efficiency condensing gas heater/boiler typically has loads of
condensation (ie, distilled water) coming out of the chimney and that
stuff will eat significantly away at the aluminium chimney and heater
block. You get half a cubic inch or so of aluminum oxide granules in the
sewer line coming off it every year.
