In summer, bottles are used in every house to cool water in the refrigerator. Apart from this, there are some such bottles which are used to keep tea, coffee cool and also for juice. Because of this, stubborn stains often form inside the bottles. Dirt accumulates especially at the bottom edges. Because of this, bottles start looking old very quickly and can also become home to bacteria. To clean the bottles, you must use a flexible brush, but despite this, sometimes some stains do not come out properly. Simple tips are very effective in cleaning it.

If the bottles start looking unsightly due to dirt, it can become a cause of embarrassment, hence people buy new bottles. However, if you clean the bottle with some easy methods, the dirt and stains accumulated on its inner edges will be removed. The bottle starts shining like new and the bad smell present in it is also eliminated. So let us know the easy ways to clean the bottle.

Vinegar and Baking Soda

If there are stains and algae accumulation inside the bottles, then to clean them, prepare a solution of vinegar-baking soda. Mix 2 teaspoons of baking soda in one cup of white vinegar. Due to this, foam starts forming in it. You pour this liquid inside the bottles, close the lids, shake well and leave it like this for 10 minutes. After this, wash the bottle with lukewarm water and dishwash.

the smell of the bottle will go away

If there is a foul smell in the bottle along with stains from tea, coffee or juice, then lemon and salt (take a little coarse salt) should be used. For this, mix salt in lemon juice and then put it inside the bottle. You can also cut the lemon peels into small pieces, put them in a bottle and shake it. Leave it like this for some time and then clean it with a brush. This will not only make the bottle clean, but it will also leave no smell at all.

Dirt will be cleaned without brush

Many times even hands and brushes are not able to reach some internal parts of the bottle. It is difficult to clean such corners. The solution to this problem is raw rice. Mix raw rice in dish soap and then put it in the bottle. Put some lukewarm water in the bottle and then cover it with a lid and shake it. These rice grains will act as a scrubber and the dirt accumulated in the corners will be cleaned.

use ice

If there is dirt accumulated in the edges of the bottle and the scrubber or brush is not able to reach there, then crushed ice will help you. Put crushed ice with baking soda and salt in the bottle and shake it well for a few minutes. Crushed ice will help remove dirt like a scrubber. So baking soda and salt work as cleansing agents.

hot water, lemon-dish soap

The simplest way to clean the bottle is to heat water. Add dish soap and lemon juice to it. The water should be just hot enough so that it does not damage the bottles. Dip all the bottles in this water and leave them like this for the whole night. Clean these bottles in the morning. You will see that all the bottles are shining like new.
