How To Clean The Inside of Bottles
If you collect old perfume bottles, miniature bottles, or ones with necks too narrow to use a bottle brush, you can easily clean the inside by doing the following:
- Fill bottle 3/4 full with warm water, a bit of dish detergent and about a teaspoon of uncooked rice (if it’s a medium to large size bottle, add more if you think you need it).
- Seal the top of the bottle and shake, shake, shake and swirl the rice around a bit. If the bottle is fragile, swirl gently.
- Once cleaned thoroughly rinse out the grains of rice and soapy water, then allow bottle to air dry (without the cap or cork on if there is one).
If the bottle has a white film or crusty deposits, trying soaking in a 50/50 vinegar and warm water solution for a few hours or even overnight (fill to top). Dump the liquid and then add warm soapy water and uncooked rice then proceed as noted above.
