How to Clean a Plastic Bottle from Any Pollution

If you often have to collect drinking water in a spring or a special machine, you probably faced the problem of contamination of plastic containers. Over time, standing water, even very clean, can give an unpleasant odor inside the bottle or even blossom.





Of course, throwing out an old bottle and buying a new one is problematic for many reasons. First of all, this case could cost a penny. A large water container for a filter is not a cheap pleasure. And secondly, it's a direct road to generating even more trash around.

Of course, the bottle needs to be washed. Thus, the container will be used longer, and once again in the store will not have to go. The only question is how to wash plastic containers?





Given that the neck of a large bottle is quite narrow, it is not possible to climb there with your hand. With the help of a brush, too, can not help: inconvenient. It turns out that the container must be cleaned without assistance.

We do not want to use chemistry and do not advise you. Not only are the chemicals themselves toxic, but it is not yet known how they will behave with a particular type of plastic. It's not safe.





There are good old recipes from the past. Remember, it'll be useful!

You'll need it.

• bottle
• 200 ml of crushed egg shell
• soda
• water

Preparation

1. Grind the shell so that the individual fractions are about 0.5 cm in size. Shells will need about a handful.
   
   
   
2. Dilute water with soda: for 1 liter of water you need 50 g of soda. You'll get a 5% soda solution. In this way, you not only disinfect the container, but also clean the pollution.
   
   
   
3. Solution is enough to cover the bottom. For a large bottle, about 5 liters will fit under the filter. Leave the bottle with the solution for a few hours.
4. After the right time, take the bottle in your hands and vigorously shake the contents. The shell of the egg will clean the container to the end. The more contaminated the bottle, the more time you will need.
   
   
   

So you can clean a large bottle for the office, and the usual litreIf it's necessary. Size doesn't matter.





In addition, some use sand, millet or ordinary white paper instead of shell. We think the sand will scratch too much. plasticPaper and millet will not give the desired result in severe pollution. Or shake the bottle will take much longer than using the shell.





Use resources wisely and do not throw away unnecessary resources. So you're doing us all a favor by reducing the amount of trash on the planet. And, of course, it should be recalled that such cleaning does not involve the use of chemistry, which means that everything will be environmentally friendly and as natural as possible.
