Just another tip. I've had great success with plain old vinegar. Actually, it cleans anything and everything around the house. For bottle sickness or inner gunk, fill your bottle with vinegar and top it off daily. After a week, stick an old toothbrush down the neck and you'll be suprised how much scale sheds off. It cheaper and alot less toxic too.
Thanks for sharing the information. My Grandfather was an excavator 40's to 80s and dug some really cool bottles. I have about 100 or so and finally getting around to cleaning them without a tumbler. Most were dug up on old civil war areas, in Georgia. Peace. Mark
just came upon your site. I am looking forward to much more info on collecting and preserving, and learning the historys of these antique bottles. In the 1950's, my uncle would take me out digging for old bottles. We would have a great fun and bonding time.I thought there was not anything that my Uncle Jim did not know about these old bottles we found.
I am now 72 years old . I came across a box of old bottles (some maybe from my uncle's and my excursions....I don't know.
Now the fire has lit again, and I want to, not only clean these bottles, whether just prettys I liked as a kid, or antique.
I hope to be able to go hunting again. Thanks to finding your site, maybe I will be able to.
Go back to the spot!
thanks for being honest, a good guy i appreciate it
Just s-tumbled on this video. I’m retired and don’t have the $$$ to buy equipment or pay for tumbling. I have limited collecting bottles to those that have my family name on them. I can’t wait to shine up a few today!
They look so much better when they are clean!
I came across your channel in one of those rabbit holes clicking on. I collect old bottles and old vases. I have found for especially the narrow neck bottles and vases. I use denture tablets to clean them. As well some of your cleaning agents you. I've had allergies to. So I have used dawn baking soda and white vinegar. That really helps get any haze off. At least I've found. Thank you for your videos. Enjoy your glass every one.😎👍

Great advice
Old video, but greate one still. Thx for the tips on cleaning bottles. Just started collecting and finding old things(duo to life and kids me and the wife havent really had the time before now). We collect and "treasure"hunt all from claypipes to bottles here in Sweden. We wanted to metaldetect as well, but its very regulated and a ton of paperwork to be filled in to be allowed to do that here. But we did some reasearch and found out that where a garbage dump from the 1910`s where, now "under" a riding schools fields, named Tippen Ridbana (roughly translated, The dump ridingtrack, Tippen being an older word for garbage dump/rubbish tip/dump). And at the outskirts of it and at tree roots we found tons of porceline and broken bottles, and ofc some whole ones. :D
Thanks for watching it, feel free to check out some of my short videos. I really only have time to edit full videos in the winter months now.
Great video Matt! Count me in. Amazing what a little baby oil will do. Keep up the good work and thanks for the tips.

Hey how's it going this danny from vidalia la. My first time watching video on cleaning old bottles and the truth yours was the third one i watched all the way through. I did not make thru the others no offense to anyone. Going to try your method i like it and surprized to see your giveaway very great of youvery good thing your doing and yes I would love to have those bottles like your video very much. Thanks for the advice. Have a good one
I have a 3 liter I found that's rounded with a tight neck with scaling on the inside. I'm hoping to clean it out and use it as a terrarium for college.
I use tooth paste and a scouring pad and bottle brushes for the inside. Tooth paste removes the cloudly ground hazing and most dirt and stains fast. For tougher stains let it dry on the glass overnight. Tooth paste will also remove the yellowish oxidation from a vehicles plastic headlight lens.Thanks for the baby oil tip. I use Pepsodent, I like the peppermint smell,other brands may work as well or better.
Hi there, Just came across your videos, I got a bottle it's blue and has some rust residue in it . I used backing soda and vinegar in it but still didn't take it out.. So gonna try your method.. Tf your tips. Awesome video ..Best , Debbie
great pic!
Good work, man
Thanks!
Your video was exactly what I was looking for. Too bad the video is from 2015! I love to be included in any future give aways. :)
I spend most of my time finding things...no time to edit a 20 minute video...good thing they came out with "shorts." CHRCK UM OUT!
What is a good way to identify bottles? I found a good one, i think, in Arizona.
Haha just came across this because my son found some old bottles just lie these (well not exactly) thanks for the info.
Thank you
VERY HELPFUL INDEED !!!!!
Wooeee!! I really want those bottles! I want to start digging but don’t know where to start
walk up creeks man
Great info. Thanks for sharing. Count me in.
#35
can all these methods be used to clean a bottle that will be used for food products after, such a holding olive oil?
What about using dish detergent, baking soda and vinegar? They work great too at cleaning bottles. And it pays to have a bottle brush cleaning set too.
Yaaaay!
Cool bottles and great cleaning tips! Count me in please!
Thanks! #29
cool thanks for the oil tip, got a few cloudy ones that wont be cloudy much longer! hh and be lucky buddy!!!
+Phill G You are welcome buddy! Thanks for watching! #7
How long do you soak in bleech? I have a ten gallon jug from 1943 that I am soaking. It is from ww2.
I don’t have antique bottles but, I have hundreds of cool vanilla and liquor bottles I’m trying to clean for sale. My family wedding business bombed with corona so I have hundreds of clear bottles I was saving for chandeliers. I just want them all gone and I figured if I cleaned them I could at least ask a dollar per bottle. Now I’m 36 bottles in and I see no end in sight. Do you think I can still get money for bottles not cleaned inside and out?
Do you think I can even make a dollar off each clean bottle?
I want in! I Enjoy your videos keep them coming

Hi what would you suggest is the best way to clean a very large narrow necked wine bottle that has been left outside and has patches of moss or something on the inside.
Hi ! I just cleaned and 2 long neck narrow bottles yesterday,,,,, I used a small piece of stainless steel sponge attached to a small brush with extendable attachment from gun cleaning kit,,,,cleaned with dawn soap, which I did not have much of, so I used the orange pine sol cleaner.
@@nancyc5922 Great will give it a try thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
How do you use the products other than the oil?
CLR will eat holes in antique blown glass. I learned the hard way.
I would love to be entered into the draw but I live in the UK so I understand if that is too far due to postage costs. I really enjoy watching your videos, thank you for sharing, I spend a lot of time watching videos as I am very disabled and mostly housebound. I would love to be able to get out metal detecting and as for bottle digging I watch with a degree of envy. Good luck 🍀 and happy hunting Mary-Ellen UK
+M Johnson You are # 13. Thank you for your support.
Is there a general rule on the value of old bottles. I tried to look a few things up that I found and what I thought was cool stuff isn't worth squat. Not that I think I'm going to find a gold bottle or anything but where I dug I didn't dig very deep and some pretty old stuff was close to the top so I'm thinking if I get deeper I may find something really old. That's a long way of saying what should I watch out for?
+Smoke eater Hey buddy. Antique bottle value is pretty much dictated by supply and demand. Always try to dig to the bottom of the dump when digging! #8
Always enjoy your videos.... I'm a bottle hound also... I would like to be entered in the Antique Bottle Give-Away.
Good stuff! Those bottles look great... please include me for entry. Best of luck out there.

+dragonstar3121976 #18
♥️🍾
count me in please. I can't remember who I mentioned this to but if it was you, please forgive me. When I am cleaning old bottles, some times the inside can be hard to get clean. I put in a drop of dawn dish soap, old fashioned uncooked rice and a little warm water. Put your thumb over the end and shake carefully. The rice acts as a gentle scrubbing agent and can go into all the books and crannies inside the bottle.
+Mama's gone detecting Yes, You can use rice or copper bits work well too. #42
Bleach is intended to be used with cold water. Read the label.
Great videos and bottles, count me in! Digging season ends with the frost, and the cleaning begins. lol I am definitely going to be trying your methods, thanks.
#32
Bleach & ammonia = chlorine gas...very deadly ...any tips on compacted dirt removal from the interior of a bottle besides a long soapy warm water soak which i tried several times
After cleaning these bottles are they safe to drink out of
Thanks for the great tips that will help a lot, I would love to be entered in the giveaway cool bottles.
+Relic digger Thanks for the kind words-- #6
Thx for the great tips. Baby oil makes a mighty big improvement. I dont sell my bottles so its a method I'mnksh looking forward to try!! Please enter me in the draw!!
Thanks,
Andrew..
+CoinandRelicOntario Hey buddy! #21
This may be the most obvious question, but... are bottles cleaned in this way safe to drink out of? Or is this sort of thing strictly for display only?
great video. Just a question about selling bottles with the oil treatment on them. If im selling bottles how can I get the clear finish without using that method? I agree with your opinion on it but if i want a quality finish how can I get that without using the oil?
You would have to use a bottle tumbler
Excellent tips.
Nice bottles please enter me in.
+New England Metal Detectors Thanks #10

No, the nail polish is not easily removable.

+Owen Watkins #45
cool i used to use olive oil or sesame oil oof if i don't have olive
You've shown the temporary way to clean the cloudiness on bottles using baby oil, but is there a non bottle rolling permanent way please? Thanks in advance!
The only other way that I know to clean a "sick" bottle permanently other than tumbling is to use Sulfuric acid, but it is extremely dangerous. I don't recommend it.
@@Dirtflicker that's actually good info I may have to go to a tumbler for some of my bottles. I mostly collect Pirate related and shipwreck bottles which I don't clean. Thanks
The Santal de Midy bottle came from France and contained a "cure" for Syphilis and other venerial diseases. 1885-1915.
