 Topic: Washer Bottle cleaningPosted: 02 May 2009 at 8:20pm |

I tried cleaning this today as it sticks out because it has ingrained dirt around the opening. i tried various plastic cleaners but there was little or no difference, the dirt unforunately didn't show up on the picture. Could someone suggest a good way to clean this please. but for the life of me I can't get these pictures to upload!!! {Copy the IMG Code from Photobucket and paste in here}  Edited by NeRo - 02 May 2009 at 8:29pm |

Try anti-algae treatment, or any disinfectant.

The ultimate weapon would probably be a bit of domestic beach - as used down the loo - but take the bottle off first.

Antiseptic disinfectant - the only thing I had in the cupboard that was advised. Worked a treat....

original caps are no longer available. take old cap off and soak it in bleach for a few days. it worked with mine. |

I tried flash with bleach, leave to soak for 30 mins, then in to the dishwasher.
Looks like new!
