Cleaning Old Bottles

[horseshoes]

I have a lot of bottles dug up from old tips. Some are very dirty just with regular dirt/soil etc, and some have rust in them. What would you recommend I use to clean them? Thank you.

Have you tried soaking them in soapy water then using a bottle brush?

Yes Sandy, I have; and I've tried rolling some ceramic beads inside them.

Better left if you are going to sell them then let the buyer decide
