Cleaning antique glass bottles inside???

Question

I have several antique glass bottles that have mineral deposits buildup inside them. How do I rid myself of this problem?

Answer 1

Put a tablespoon or so of vinegar, about a teaspoon of dry rice and a drop or two of liquid dishsoap. Then fill halfway with water. Give a good strong shake, let it sit for a few minutes, another shake, etc. They will sparkle after a few shakes and sitting. Then rinse and dry!

Answer 2

You can clean these by using silver sand , obtainable from most gardening shop´s. Put a tablespoon of silver sand and a weak solution of warm water and liquid detergent. Swill the contents round, but keep checking the inside is not being scratched. If you don´t wish to go to all that trouble, then use a baby´s bottle brush , this might help reach the bottom of the bottles. or even with the garden hose, this will rid some off the dirt inside

Answer 3

Don't go crazy. Try vinegar first if the bottle is made of glass. Rinse all vinegar out before using the detergent then buy DAWN dish detergent. Pour a little detergent in bottle, use a bottle brush but cover the metal parts with a fabric tape. Don't scratch the bottle neck or insides.

Answer 4

let undiluted white distilled vinegar sit in them for a few hours. Add a little rice or sand and shake vigorously to loosen stubborn stains. Repeat if necessary. If the rice don't work get a baby bottle cleaning brush.
