BOTTLES and vases make great decorations, but they can be a pain when it's time to clean them.
Rather than spending money on a bottle brush and missing all the hard-to-reach areas, there's a trick that's even more effective.
Expert Chantel Mila shared her genius bottle cleaning trick on her TikTok page and it won't cost you more than a dime.
To clean her irregular-shaped water bottle, she filled it with three tablespoons of uncooked rice, one cup of water, and a squirt of dish soap.
She then gave the bottle a good shake and rinsed it clean.
"The rice will help scrub the inside of the bottle and leave it perfectly clean," she explained.
In response to several commenters saying she could just use a bottle brush, Mila had the perfect answer.
"You can wash and reuse this the exact same way you would with a bottle brush.
"But this is biodegradable at the end, unlike a plastic brush," she commented.
She also advised: "Guys, you don’t need to throw out the three tablespoons of rice.
"You can dry and reuse it (just like you would a bottle brush) or use it in another DIY."
Several people were impressed by Mila's clever hack, with one person who wrote: "This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you!!!"
Another added: "Awesome! I'll give it a try,
And someone else commented: "This is the best thing ever!!!"
