Cleaning a Small Bottle

I had an old glass Bo Peep Ammonia bottle. I was thrilled with it, because I love anything vintage. However, it had a very small mouth. The idea to clean it, was to use a small piece of a shim, cut lengthwise (make sure you cut a piece as small as the mouth of the bottle).

You could use a wire if you have one, but it needs to be strong, not a bendable one. Then I put a baby bottle nipple brush on the end, and taped it on the "stick." It worked like a charm!

Of course, you need to make a cleaning solution to dip the brush in to clean. You might actually have a piece of a shim stick in your house, so look before you go buy! :)
