2. Add some rice and a small amount of washing up liquid.

3. Recap the bottle with the cork (or seal it with your hand).

4. Shake it vigorously!

Result

Voilà—your bottle's interior sparkles clean! :-) This reliable technique, backed by the abrasive power of rice grains, scrubs away stuck-on residue effectively and naturally.

It's economical, brush-free, and works on wine bottles, plastic containers, glass jars, thermoses, baby bottles, carafes—even SodaStream bottles and Tupperware.

Rice's texture reaches the bottom and curves, ensuring a thorough clean. Rinse well and dry completely afterward for best results.
