Is your carafe calcified?

It is true that a glass bottle gets dirty quickly.

Not very presentable especially if you have guests.

But because of the narrow neck, it is often impossible to clean them well ...

Fortunately, there is an easy way to clean a decanter full of lime.

The trick is use white vinegar, rice and coarse salt. Look :

How to do

1. Pour white vinegar into the carafe until halfway.

2. Add a handful of rice.

3. Add a tablespoon of coarse salt.

4. Stopper the carafe with your finger.

5. Shake vigorously to loosen impurities.

6. Empty the carafe.

7. Rinse with clean water.

Results

And There you go ! No more carafe of water full of limestone :-)

Your carafe is now completely cleansed and has regained all its transparency naturally.

It still makes you want to drink in it, doesn't it?

Thanks to the descaling action of vinegar and the abrasive action of rice and salt, lime and dirt are gone.

And it works for glass or crystal decanters and wine decanters. No more traces of red wine in the beautiful carafe!

Note that you can use the same trick to clean a narrow crystal vase or a glass globe with a narrow opening.

Additional advice

If the carafe is really super dirty, use the same ingredients but this time fill the bottle completely with white vinegar and leave to act for 2 hours. Then empty part of the mixture, stopper the carafe and shake it vigorously.

Finally, put the carafe in the dishwasher to finish the deep cleaning. Be careful not to leave labels on the bottle, which will clog the dishwasher.

You can also use a bottle brush to loosen the limescale. This trick also works for cleaning bottles.
