well as a mead brewer i,m still learning new tricks brewing and cleaning of bottles especially cloudy bottles recently i was talking to another brewer of many more years then i have he told me to use kettle descale powder well i soaked my swedish decanter and i can safely say it's improved a lot still marks there thinking of giving it another soak overnight before going to the next step of sanitising it

Thank you very much from Portland oregon...

going to try another cleaning powder on one of my other cloudy decanters i'll try it tonight this one i heard about involves Oxi clean or any other powder like it i have a tub of vanish at hand it's all the same stuff will soak one of my whiskey decanters in it tonight

well my swedish decanter has soaked for two days in clean away kettle descale powder it worked good on the cloudy stains on the first overnight soak but the deep acid marks were still there i soaked for a second night in clean away and the deep marks have faded but still there may give it a third soak in clean away not sure yet as the vanish oxi clean worked on my whiskey glass i was testing boom one shot cleaned the cloudy marks and the deep stain marks must admit though the deep stains in my whisky decanter wasn't as bad as the swedish decanters i will sanitise my whiskey decanter tonight and soak the swedish decanter in vanish tonight great result with vanish

Kevin - what is a rough estimate of cost when having a decanter mechanically polished? I have a Raymond Ward safari decanter that I would like to have done - but as the value is not above possibly £70 I don't know if it would be worth doing>?

cant it just have the acid put inside and then tipped out to leave the outside the same as it was?

been talking to a fella who says he uses scale away appliance descaler powder form as it's easier to drop into the bottle then he tops up the bottle with warm water and lets it soak overnight the descaler has similar acids in it that the polishers use he then puts warm water and equal amount of bleech and lets it sanitise the bottle overnight then he says he'll use a brewing sanitiser after the 15 minute soak he'll rinse and dry the bottle then pour a glass of cheep vodka into the bottle put the lid on shake it up as the alcohol will do a clean he said he'll then pour out the vodka and fill the decanter with whiskey or whatever i'm going to try it on my reijmyre swedish decater will let you know the outcome

Could I get an email for the Restorers please. The one I tried does not work. It would be good to see more of the work he does. It is good advertising for him as I am a customer if I can contact him😀👍The stopper repair was good to watch and I would like to see how he deals with the snapped stopper end. Thanks

I’ve sent my Georgian carafe into Loverage’s based on your video. Overnight in Steradent did nothing. Andy tells me the interior polishing process takes 2 weeks of constant tumbling!

Seems Chemistry is just everywhere😅 (😭)
