Glass Old
How do I clean the inside of old, antique glass bottles?
We are digging up the ground to bury a septic tank and found a whole stash of old, glass bottles that I would like to clean up and possibly display. The outside of the bottles wasn't too difficult, but I can't fit anything (like a toothbrush) down into the openings on most of the bottles. Is there some way to clean these without scrubbing? I thought about the dishwasher, but kind of hate to have all this dirt and grime in there. Denture cleanser maybe????
HI. A great resource on cleaning and dating old bottles is at http://bottleinfo.historicbottles.com
There are professional bottle cleaners too, do a search.
I have found Efferdent to work.
I also just recently answered this on my blog. Check it out for more suggestions... http://maryantiques.blogspot.com
Good Luck!

What would you rather drink: a glass of old man spit or a glass of old man sweat?
You have to choose one, your life depends on it! Go!
