Old Antique

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!

All World: Greatest Hits $6.55 The very epitome of “been there, done that,” LL Cool J also has the distinction of having originated (or, at least, being the most proficient at) half a dozen rap styles. On the hits collection All World, all the phases are represented: he was “hard as hell” on 1986′s “Rock the Bells” and again on 1991′s “Mama Said Knock You Out”; on 1987′s “I Need Love,” he was the painfully sappy precursor to Bo… |

Christina Aguilera $3.00 Like fellow former Mickey Mouse clubber Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera kicks off her debut album with a teen-lust nugget–in this case, the No. 1 single “Genie in a Bottle”–that the rest of the disc can’t possibly live up to. Aguilera has a strong voice, but patterns herself after iffy role models such as Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Aside from “Genie,” most of this music is straight fro… |
