I've got a fair few bottles with cloudy glass, I don't know whether the cloudyness is inside the bottle or inside the glass. So anyway whats the best way to get rid of it if there even is a way.

If the glass has become hazy from a reaction with the soil about the only way to really clean the bottle is to tumble it. Search bottle tumbler, you should find info.

Hey Will, Try a bottle haze eraser.[sm=lol.gif] It would be great if it could be done.

You can try floric acid. You can get it at pro cleaning supplies outlets. It's for cleaning aluminum, stainless and the like.

Only use it on the inside because it will pit the outside of some bottles for some reason. Fill the bottle and let it sit for 7 to 10 mins. Be sure not to forget about it or you will ruin the bottle. The white cloudy stuff will drop to the bottom. You can then pour it into the next bottle but it will lose it potentency after two uses. Costs about 8 bucks.

If the bottle is truely sick it wont work. Only tumbling will fix that. Sick bottles are damaged on the inside and out usually.
