It would seem that it is not such a difficult business to wash the bottle. However, if you need to clean out a large amount of recyclable containers (for example, for corking house wine), this can be a real problem. Old dirt, glass surface blooming from stagnant water, glue from paper and plastic labels, excise stamps - you will have to tinker.
Necessary
- - brush;
- - dishwashing detergent (soda, salt);
- - fine abrasive for filling the bottle;
- - acetone or solvent;
- - means for removing mineral deposits;
- - means for removing stickers;
- - cleaning powder;
- - warm and hot water;
- - capacious capacity;
- - knife, rag, hard washcloth.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to clean a bottle is with a good old brush, hot water, and a little baking soda, salt, or dishwashing liquid. To prevent residues of household chemicals from settling on the glass cavity, thoroughly rinse the bottle under running water or in several clean waters. When pouring out the liquid, shake the bottle vigorously from time to time.
Step 2
If complex contaminants remain on the walls of the vessel (for example, green or brown deposits of microscopic algae), you will need to resort to abrasive agents. Fill the contaminated container with sawdust (grits, coarse sand, eggshells, etc.). If you are cleaning bottles in the summer, then just grass.
Step 3
Add water to the container and shake the bottle well until the dirt loses off the inner walls. Then you just have to rinse and rinse the container.
Step 4
Use a special mineral scale thinner to remove white deposits. It forms in bottles due to the storage of hard water in it. Such a tool can be found in a household chemicals store (for example, Sanox, "Himitek" and others).
Step 5
To remove the paper label, bottles are usually soaked in a large container of very warm water for several hours. To speed up the process, you can add a little dish soap to the water.
Step 6
After soaking, some labels fall off of the bottle by themselves. If a more powerful adhesive was used, the remaining paper will have to be cleaned off with an abrasive scrubber and scouring powder. At the same time, traces of glue will be washed off. Cover foil labels with hot water and remove with the tip of a knife.
Step 7
If the adhesive does not lend itself to a washcloth and powder, wipe it off with acetone or solvent. You can also look for a specialized industrial product for removing stickers such as "Antivandal" or "Polycarbon Label".
