bottle brush - 9/13/2004 10:03:40 PM    flasherr Posts: 538 Joined: 5/7/2004 From: Abilene Texas Status: offline Boy am I smart lol. I have been having a hard time finding long enough bottle brushes. Well, I finally figured out Get a toilet brush the kind that loops. Cut 1 end free straighten it out and bam you have a bottle brush that is over a foot long. I bought a good one at the dollar store. I mean where are you gonna find a good bottle brush for $1? Id like to hear what yall use for cleaning bottles. What do you use for cleaning small mouthed medicine bottles? Look forward to hearing what yall have to say Brian Attachment (1) < Message edited by flasherr -- 9/13/2004 11:15:14 PM > _____________________________ Know anyone around Abilene Texas that digs?

That's a great idea! You can buy a small can of plastic dip (used for replacing plier and screwdriver grips) to coat the metal at the tip. At most hardware stores.Then recoat that old pair of pliers in your toolbox. < Message edited by diginit -- 9/13/2004 11:16:40 PM > _____________________________ Life is a Ditch.

RE: bottle brush - 9/13/2004 11:18:14 PM    flasherr Posts: 538 Joined: 5/7/2004 From: Abilene Texas Status: offline I ended up bending the sharp point over and squeezing it tight. But that is a good idea. I think I got some of that somewhere I had bought on clearance. I tend to buy stuff on clearance even if i don't need it Brian _____________________________ Know anyone around Abilene Texas that digs? (in reply to flasherr) Post #: 3

I keep advocating percolator brushes for narrow necks (if anybody remembers what a percolator is - they had a stem to the basket that had to be cleaned now and then) And I got something the other day that I think would work on little bottles - a small denture brush (Now don't ask me why I happen to have it. ) A well-cleaned mascara brush might work too.

RE: bottle brush - 9/15/2004 12:17:35 AM    diginit   Posts: 662 Joined: 4/7/2004 From: California Status: offline I use a toothbrush (A new one) Wittled down to the two center rows of bristles and shaved the neck to fit narrow bottles. You can bend the tip to get the inside of the shoulders.I like plastic for obvious reasons. Pipe cleaner sticks work too. But metal scratches so watch the ends or fold it in half. I've heard of using gravel for fish tanks,cut up wire,bb's and such,shaken with lots of water. I'll stick to brushes for now. _____________________________ Life is a Ditch.
