Thats going to be a lot of cleaning. i put mine in buckets and let them sit awhile until i get around to them that way dirt and grime has softened up also. another way i have found to clean tall bottles is get a toilet brush the kind with a u shaped end. i cut one end off and use it to clean tall bottles and sodas. on cheap bottles i also cheat and cut both ends free and stick one end in the cordless drill to help speed up the process. i once bought a collection of bottles from under a building that had be sitting in mud along time. i found this way to be an effective and fast way to clean bottles. cant wait to see some cleaned up especially the sodas
Still too cold up here to soak in buckets, they'd freeze solid. I live on the lake so that's where they're going as soon as it thaws. Still have the fish hut out front on the lake. I've got an old spin style apartment size washer I was thinking of wrapping the agitator and drum with thick foam and trying a couple of worthless bottles first. It sure would save a lot of shaking.
