    Wine is fairly sanitary all by itself - things harmful to people cannot grow in wine (alcohol level 10% or higher).  Many winemakers clean and sanitize carboys with a no-rinse product like One Step or PBW.  Store cleaned and sanitized carboys mouth down (if possible), or cover the mouth to prevent dust, insects, etc. from entering.

    Take a look at the FAQ section.  If you search for sanitizing, you'll find that answer.

    I've been trying to keep my carboys clean.  What do I use to make sure that they're always sparkly?
