Fill them with a 50/50 water and vinegar solution, soak over night. Then pour most of solution out and shake the bottles until they are clean.

Your best bet is to buy a couple of small bags or containers of BBs - like what they use in BB guns.
Get the copper ones if at all possible.
About 100 - 150 will do just fine.
Wash out the bottle with hot water. Then add a little hot water and add some chorlox bleach - then put the BBs into the bottle and shake them furiously up and down as well as sideways, making sure you put your hand - or cover on the bottle so the BBs and the liquid will not splash out!
After a while they will "clean" up all of the dirt that was coating the inside of the bottle.
Good Luck

For small mouthed bottles, I clip a wire coat hanger and open it out. On one end I make a closed in hook and tie a small rag onto it. The rag has to be small enough to go through the bottle opening. The heavy wire allows you to put bends in it to get around inside as necessary.
Fill the bottle with soapy water and let it sit for at least an hour....this will loosen up the dirt.
I cleaned a 8 gallon water jug with a 1 1/2 inch mouth this way.

I use a cleaner that's called "Grease Lighting" most wal-marts, targets, and dollar stores have it. Its a strong cleaner so make sure your glass isn't painted. If it is painted then what I usually do is soak it in just plain ole soap and water(nothing with lemon because it will damage the paint). I also use a baby bottle cleaning brush to get on the inside and around corners I cant get to with my dish cloth. Good luck!

Fill the bottles with hot water and then put in broken dental tabs (for cleaning false teeth) and let sit overnight or try white vinegar and either alka seltzer (or generic) tablets or baking soda (this fizzes so be careful). Also let sit overnight. Good luck.

The first suggestion is good, you can also use a bottle brush to get dried on gunk out after soaking.
