Steel Wool and Bird Shot? - 5/22/2005 9:37:41 PM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Has anyone ever tried chopping up some fine steel wool and taking a handful of fine bird shot mixed together for cleaning bottles? I was thinking about running fine shot through superglue and then rolling right into a pile of finely chopped steel wool. Then fill the bottle with a thick detergent mix and super, scrubby shot and see how it works. Am I wasting my time? Swiz Post #: 1

I'm sure you have many ideas on how to clean bottles. I went through many ways also. But when I started tumbling it is the only way to really clean badly stained bottles. rick (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 2

Look thru this forum for other info on barkeepers friend too. Hope this helps you a bit. _____________________________ BOB An old shoe in yer hole is good luck (unless theres a foot still in it..)

Also for a good soak "The Works" toilet bowl cleaner works great & it's cheap. After a tumble I use it to remove any polish stain thats left from the bottle stopples, a couple hours soak and it cooks it right off...... (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 4
