It would cost more to get this bottle tumbled than it is worth but, what you suggest to use for cleaning it?  It is not the inside that needs to cleaned but the outside.  It looks black in the picture but if you hold it up in the light it is olive green.  Any suggestions?

I would try a soak in bleach & water for a day or 2 then some elbow grease and Mr. Clean Eraser.  That thing is great for some stains, but some it wont touch. HTH

I use Toliet Works from the Dollar Store.  Don't use alot of it but it cleans well.  If the bottle is just for you and not interested in selling it....then applying some PAM or spray oil takes the stain out but it will come back.

Hi jag, looks like some moderate mineral stain. Get yourself a can of auot rubbing compound and apply a little elbow greeze. Apply a dab to the corner of a cotton rag and some heavy thumb pressure, and your in bussiness. I have a buddy that gets amazing results with the stuff. He can clean most anything on a bottle inside or out. He puts hours of work into a single bottle though.

Lobey.
