Cleaning a Sick Bottle

[RedGinger]

Sounds like a good product. I used to collect pyrex and fire king.

Stick some lemons in there with the salt and ice. That's what we used to do at the restaurant.

I don't know about using it to clean bottles, but that Dawn Power Dissolver is great on baked on junk. Laur - when you get an oven - try it![]

so how about a bottle that is really really "sick"... is there no hope except for tumbling?..

 

[cyberdigger]

3 choices for "SICK" ..tumble it, burn it with acid, or mask it with oil. No other options exist. !!!!!!!!!!

..OK keeping it full of liquid is option 4...

hey charlie, explain the burning with acid option.....you mean like clr or something much stronger?...and masking with oil?..you mean like baby oil, will that last or wear off very soon?....

Hydroflouric acid kills sickness, but leaves a haze.. stuff like CLR doesn't quite get to the heart of the matter. Mineral oil will stay clear for ages if the bottle is sealed with a cork or somesuch, but just don't let any dust or insects get in.. and don't put it up for sale without disclosure! []

Anyone ever use the toilet bowl cleaner or The Works option yet? Just curious. We tried Muratic acid, Efferdent, and CLR. Nothing worked so far.

Will Muriatic Acid clean sick bottles or will that hardcore acid destroy the bottles?
