Hello, I cleaned my first salt water stained bottle today for a member, What a difference from the staining in Va. bottles!! A challenge to say the least. I cleaned it three times and removed about 90% of staining without pre-soaking the bottle. I have two more bottles soaking for a few days and will post a picture after I clean them. It took me about 30 minutes to get this bottle at 90 %. Thanks, Kevin. Before Picture

Kevin, thanks for your selflessness in sharing what seems to be a good alternative to tumbling. I look forward to trying it out sometime and may give you a holler for more details. I'm curious about one thing however: have you tried this method on non-cylindrical bottles yet? Just wondering how squares, rectangles and ovals would fare.

Hello Jimbo, Yes I have tried this method on both square bottles and a couple Flasks. It took some adjustment to the length of cloth attached to the rod, I had to add about 5'' so the cloth could be forced into the corners. cylindrical bottles are much easier to clean using this method. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks, Kevin...

Had to give this a try on some items destined for the "bargain bin" under the table. Had some success with 3M 39002 as I was unable to locate the 05954 other than online so I added some Gojo with pumice hand cleaner. These bottles were well stained and I spent no more than 15 minutes on each interior, exterior required a little more elbow grease . . .
