Cleaning advice:
Some of my bottles are pre-cleaned but some of them require further cleaning. It is recommended to soak in a 20:1 solution of water and bleach for a few days or even weeks, depending on the level of soiling. You can also use rice and a bit of water to shake it to remove dirt. If the dirt remains, try using small nails with water and gently rotating the bottle for a few minutes. There are many different cleaning methods and for bottles with high market value it is recommended to use a professional bottle tumbler.

Healthy Spray Bottle: Just transfer the spray nozzle from the original plastic bottle to a glass one.
