Hi,
for a quick fix, try aquarium stone for the inside fill 3inches w/stone a little liquid soap and 3/4 full of water. outside use stovetop cleaner only on the unpainted part of the bottle, with the stone and water cylintrical motion back and forth. then rinse with water.

Hi Tristian- A newfie bottle, that's kool eh! I got one that is embossed with basically the same logo, bim crown, anyway I find that if these acl's are in the ground for any length of time the label is almost impossible to clean without damaging it, I've tried to clean some of mine with just a mild soap and water and even just rubbing lightly will cause the label to fade and in some cases to rub off. I usually clean the glass the best I can and leave the label well enough alone.

Warm salt water seems to help a great deal in my experiences for getting junk out of the inside
