How to Get Bad Taste Out of Tube and Bottle

[DancingHeretik]

What would be the best way to get a very dirty, nasty bottle and tube clean?


I've run lots of hot water through them and have left them soaking in hot water. Is there anything else I should use? Dishwashing liquid? Anything else?

Vodka or grain spirits have magical powers, if you can spare it...

A denture cleaner does it for me and is food save.
So far, everything came off including heavy tea stains.

Another vote for PGA here.

ETA I have a Moonshiner friend.

Don't forget about your bottle o-ring. You could try a new one...

I cleaned a few soaking in rubbing alcohol. Only thing I could get to work.
Get a small shot glass or candle glass and fill it ful then soak the tube by leaning the reo over. Then run a lot thru the connector & tube.

I would try soaking in water and baking soda for the smell and bad taste
