Instructions

    • 1

      Soak your antique bottle overnight in a solution of equal parts mild dish soap and room temperature water. If the water is too hot or cold it may cause the bottle to crack.

    • 2

      Take the bottle out of the solution and let the bottle drain upside down to remove any excess water.

    • 3

      Create a polishing solution from equal parts vinegar and warm water. Cola also works as a good cleaning alternative.

    • 4

      Wipe the solution onto the bottle with a nonabrasive pad to avoid scratching the class.

    • 5

      Repeat steps 1 and 2.
