I ended up soaking them in boiling water and then used one of those long skinny flexible brushes used to clean out the venturi tubes on a BBQ. It worked great! <br />Just found your blog and it's lovely :)lisaroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09201063720578870254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487341334467856913.post-69198603320688565312011-02-22T08:02:30.743+10:002011-02-22T08:02:30.743+10:00I love those vintage bottles!!

Or make one by attaching a scour pad to a stick or long utensil with a rubber band? Love the top and bag BTW!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131839560563518646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487341334467856913.post-40649658354511558862011-02-20T14:37:06.449+10:002011-02-20T14:37:06.449+10:00What great finds - especially the mirror - such a ...What great finds - especially the mirror - such a hot day to be out and about - I so wish I could spend some time in Brissy and find all the wonderful places to shop!Leisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18166371356598878508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487341334467856913.post-75868167380095814822011-02-20T12:36:45.580+10:002011-02-20T12:36:45.580+10:00WOW ..Kate..some awesome finds there lovely...love...WOW ..Kate..some awesome finds there lovely...love them all!<br /><br />One of the ways to clean old or vintage bottles is to fill it up with equal parts ammonia and water, add some uncooked rice to the equation ( like a tablespoon) to act as a light abrasive to knock loose any unsightly dirt or grime. Shake the bottle vigorously with your thumb covering the bottle opening for about a minute or until clean. Vinegar is also good if the bottle isnt gritty but just a little cloudy looking..it gives it a nice new shine.<br /><br />Hope this helps some?<br />Enjoy your Sunday xAnna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849163903759164196noreply@blogger.com
