How do you clean old bottles?

Answer 1

Glass bottles for feeding babies can be cleaned by washing in mild dish soap, rinsing, and then boiling in a pan of water. Glass bottles cannot be boiled unless they are heat proof or oven proof.

Answer 2

If you have white or milky stains on glass bottles, this is likely to be etching. It is caused by leaching of a portion of the glass from exposure to water other liquids.

Most bottle collectors clean these stains by a tumbling procedure. It is a lot like rock tumbling and uses a polishing compound and copper wire bits. You probably do not want to do this yourself unless you go to the trouble to create the machine, buy the materials and be prepared for what is rather messy work. It is probably worth it to pay someone $15-30 to clean a bottle, especially if its valuable.

Answer 3

• To clean a small bottle such as the one you want to, it really depends how small the bottle is. But right now i have a clear small bottle i want to clean and i searched over the internet and i learned that if you fill the bottle with a little water and then put some rice in and shake it, i left it in for about ten minutes and them rinsed it out, and the rice just seemed to fall out so getting the rice out was not a problem at all. This helped me so much and i hope it helps you too!

For further more directions (or steps):

1). Wash small bottle by filling with water

2). Pour water out of bottle

3). Pour a little water back inside (hot preferably)

4). Take a couple of grains of rice (about 5 to 8)

5). Leave this solution for about 10 to 12 minutes

6). Rinse out

• I don't like to use this solution because no one really has these utensils, BUT if you happen to have a small brush you can attach it to a long, thin stick (or to a safety pin) and wash your bottle with that

HOPES THIS HELPS YOU ON WASHING YOUR SMALL BOTTLE!
