acid and cleaning - 4/14/2011 3:32:09 PM    willieboy   Posts: 30 Joined: 8/28/2006 Status: offline I am trying to get some calcium and rust stains out of a Codd bottle and was thinking of a couple of day soak in a weakened solution of muratic acid.  It is next to impossible to use a bottle brush in this type of bottle as the neck and marble cause a restriction.  I was thinking about a mixture of 1/4 muratic acid and 3/4 water.  Dose this sound about right for removing calcium?  Any other ideas?  It makes one wonder how the bottlers cleaned these bottles before filling again.
