Awesome technique!! Had some nasty green stains on the inside of our 5 gallon glass bottle, had been standing about 6 months with only a little water at the bottom. The rice as an "abrasive" together with the vinegar and your spinning and shaking technique knocked everything out - Mike Tyson at his best! Didn't use the bicarbonate of soda (didn't have any) just rinsed and shook about 10 times over with warm water (not boiling in case if cracking) and now the glass is perfectly transparent and sparkling again, not even a hint of an aroma now. Thanks so much! EDIT: Almost forgot - the last rinse I did was with clean filtered water, just to be sure, I'm sometimes a bit finicky when it comes to hygiene 😅.
@@fibonaccisrazor awesome. Yes. I agree with the filtered water rinse. Did you use bungee cords to help with the weight of the bottle as you agitated with rice? It made it so much easier. That was a fun video to make
Mine had 2 mummified mice in It. First removed mummies, sprayed foam bleach in it, added a couple of inches of water, let it sit for about an hour. Sprayed the garden hose into it with a fire hose nozzle setting. Came here to see what else I can do. It looks squeaky clean but I know it needs more cleaning, even then, not sure I’ll be able to drink any water out of it. I have to be 1000% sure before I ever will.! RICE , to do some swishing and washing of the insides, more bleach. Let the it sit in the sun, heat to temperatures so as to melt and reform glass bottle. That should do it! Clean as a whistle!
@FanceeName Ha ha. Was this a glass bottle I hope?. Yes, I think you definitely got rid of anything and everything in that bottle. Thanks for sharing your story , cheers
Hi at 7:08, looks like your using top loading water dispenser. Do you use a “ specific brand of “no-splash” cap on the glass 5 gallon carboy or do you just heave that sucker on top? Thank you !
I just tilt it on there semi- slowly. No cap. Just make sure the bottle is dry. They're slippery when wet. The glass bottles are beautiful and worth the extra effort. They cast rainbows on the wall. Thanks for watching and SUBSCRIBING. i just bought an old fixer upper house. Im going to be posting a lot of how to videos...
@@pappysproductionshey kind sir. I'm looking for a plastic free set up. I have everything except a metal valve for my glass 3 and 5 gallon glass jugs. Do you use the plastic dispenser valves? Do you know where to get metal or all natural none plastic dispenser valves?
@mirkokajfez4142 There was no mixing of 2. Watch it again. Baking soda cleans out the vinegar, so there is no smell and taste of vinegar. Thanks for watching and subscribing 🙂
@susiemorris2334 The baking soda cleans out any remaining vinegar and Rice flavors or odors. So definitely do it last. Thank you for watching and subscribing 😉
@@pappysproductions Perfect! That makes complete sense. I'm going to try the rice, water and white vinegar combo tomorrow. Have cleaned most of it with just water and OxyClean - but need something to scour the sides. I have a carboys brush BUT it can't quite get to some bits so am hoping that the rice will!
@@nategarcia3476Stop being lazy and replace the water. Common sense. And stop asking health questions for opinions. Just research it for facts. Stop being lazy.
Hi R, I added a link in the the description to where I purchase the 5 gallon water bottles. I also added a 3 gallon glass bottle as well. Thank you for watching and SUBSCRIBING! I appreciate you.
Just swish around some vinegar and warm water then rinse with baking soda and water. No need for rice. This is also how I wash my Camel pak bladder after a hike.
@@broughttoyoubybrittany4349 So looks like this doesn't work for Android. I went to his page and clicked on his subscribe link and it did the same thing. Took me to his home page, but did not subscribe me. Also, reading through all the comments on his videos, I've learned that he will not respond or reply to people asking for help with this. I also watched his mobile version of this and it's the same thing. Doesn't work. I deleted my comments off of his video as not to help the algorithm with his videos. I cannot support someone that does not help people, yet wants your views, subs and support
I don't want to trap any moisture in there, that could potentially grow mold. Once they're completely dry, sure put the cap on. If you're re-filling your bottles weekly than you don't have to worry about that. I have a lot of bottles that i refill once every 1.5 months. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I had three plastic 5 gal water bottles and it was several years before algae began forming inside them. Quite honestly, I couldn`t be bothered going through all that palaver that guy was doing in the video, these bottles are very cheap, easier and less hassle to buy new ones.
@@pappysproductions you’re going to have to throw them away at some point anyway friend. Don’t know what world you live in but it was bad for the environment as soon as they were created. Also, you can obviously recycle both the plastic and glass ones. But the recycling process is fairly inefficient for almost everything in modern society. Its always a net loss for the environment. You probably wasted at least a few gallons of water cleaning everything out just in this video, but we won’t talk about that, will we? No, we won’t. So maybe cool it on hitting people over the head with the whole environmental pitch. You’re just as guilty as everyone else, and nothing you’ve done in this video helps address that in any meaningful way whatsoever.

This really worked but the hot water at the end cracked my glass jug, so I would hold off on that part. Maybe only use warm water

why mixing backing soda(lhigh ph) and vinegar(low ph) they neutralize each other?
@mirkokajfez4142
There was no mixing of 2.

Could you use the baking soda at the same time as using the water, rice and white vinegar?

Is it necessary to wash new plastic water bottles before first use?
Yes, anything your going to use for food or water should be initially washed.
Just swish around some vinegar and warm water then rinse with baking soda and water. No need for rice. This is also how I wash my Camel pak bladder after a hike.

What does the rice do?
The rice acts as an exfoliator for the inside of the bottle.
I just wash mine with dish soap! Mine do not have mold!
Sweet!

Educate me, you are storing water in them so why do you have to make sure there is no water in them?
Not rocket science, but hot water in a cold glass bottle not a smart move.
@@reddog8558 when did the bottle get cold?
This bottle already washed
No, that bottle was not already washed.

Of course, simply throw them away.... nevermind the environment and adding more trash to the land fills and ocean.

I store them until all are empty, then I drive up the mountain to the spring, to refill them.

Acetic acid (vinegar) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) are chemicals too.
