Cleaning old bottles
-
Keri on Mar 22, 2015I have alot of experience cleaning bottles since i made all of the wine bottle centerpieces for my brothers wedding last year. My first suggestion is simply soaking it in a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water with a splash of dish soap. Hold the bottle under the water until its full of water and sinks to the bottom of sink/bucket. Soak 24 hours or overnight then rinse and rinse and rinse. :-) if this doesnt work let me know.Helpful Reply
