With the photos I often have the same problem. I just increase the "fill light" when doing the photo editing. Seems to help.Christine @ sugarandtrash.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02827031418359302049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508795665045339915.post-80324685173761674582011-06-28T19:01:59.665+01:002011-06-28T19:01:59.665+01:00I love the soda thing as I have a thing about them...I love the soda thing as I have a thing about them.

It involved bbs or rice to loosen the gunk inside. Sounded good to me. White vinegar leaves it shiny with no water spots in the final rinse.Laura in IAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993058879730411225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508795665045339915.post-91980328947696560642011-06-27T22:43:37.021+01:002011-06-27T22:43:37.021+01:00I love the siphon IO have a very similar one sitti...I love the siphon IO have a very similar one sitting on my kitchen window and it catches the sun beautifully xMaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387407423793099797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508795665045339915.post-15750905333878188572011-06-27T22:41:43.189+01:002011-06-27T22:41:43.189+01:00Gorgeous gorgeous soda bottle.

If there is crud built up inside you might try scraping it with a skinny bottle brush (the long thin ones for cleaning coffee makers would work). <br /><br />In my opinion, you have a lovely piece just the way it is.okcamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139763201219947629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508795665045339915.post-4642995637872959692011-06-27T18:09:30.949+01:002011-06-27T18:09:30.949+01:00If it were mine I'd fill it 1/4 full with a mi...If it were mine I'd fill it 1/4 full with a mixture of water with a little ammonia added to it. Then I'd shake it and roll it so it covers the inside surface. If it's really cloudy inside I might let it soak overnight. Then I'd rise it with clean water. I think you could do this without further damaging the label. I'd also keep the ammonia mixture away from the metal parts.<br /><br />One trick I learned about drying bottles is after rinsing them, let them dry with paper napkin or towel stuffed into the opening. If it can touch the bottom that's better yet. It helps absorb the excess moisture without leaving water marks.<br /><br />What a find. I love it!okcamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139763201219947629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508795665045339915.post-60291300818047808322011-06-27T14:18:36.526+01:002011-06-27T14:18:36.526+01:00Short of filling it and just keep squirting throug...Short of filling it and just keep squirting through, not really - but the wonder of the internet means that someone will probably know!
