How to wash a 19 liter eggplant from greens and dirt in 2 minutes?

Methods used in villages will help you wash the inside of a water bottle from greens and dirt. In the old days, narrow-necked jugs were washed with eggshells, millet, nettles and other available means.

We have made a selection of 5 different ways to clean cooler bottles and 19 liter bottles.

Baking soda and eggshells

This recipe is good because it helps to further disinfect the bottle and kill germs.

1. Prepare a 5% soda solution: dissolve 50 g of baking soda in 1 liter of warm water. In total you will need approximately 5 liters. The solution should cover the most contaminated area - the bottom.
   
2. Pour the liquid into a bottle (it’s convenient to do this through a funnel).
   
3. Leave the stains to soak for 2 hours.
4. At this time, make a cleaning powder: grind the shells of 4-5 chicken eggs (about two handfuls). Any shell will do, both raw and boiled. There is no need to grind it into flour, just roll it out with a rolling pin.
   
5. Pour the shells into the eggplant.
   
6. Close the lid and shake so that the liquid rotates in a circle.
   
7. After 3-4 minutes, drain the green solution.
8. Rinse the eggplant with clean water 2-3 times.
   

Sharp shells mechanically remove plaque without scratching the plastic. The walls become transparent again. And all this with a minimum of effort.

Millet

The method of cleaning eggplants with millet is one of the most popular. Hard grits act as an abrasive.

To remove greens:

1. Pour 1–2 liters of cold water into the eggplant.The less liquid, the faster the cleaning will occur.
2. Pour a glass of millet inside through a funnel (or paper).
3. Stir the contents in a circular motion until the sides are clean.

If you don't have millet, you can use rice, peas, and beans.

A clear example of how to clean the inside of a 19-liter water bottle:

Nettle

Cleaning with nettles is attractive because it is environmentally friendly and absolutely free. You won't spend a penny. In this case, the eggplant will be as good as new.

What do we have to do:

1. Wear gloves to avoid burning your hands with nettles.
2. Pick 1-2 mature plants.
3. Coarsely chop the stems with a knife. The tops with leaves can be thrown away.
4. Push the nettles into the bottle.
5. Add 1 liter of cold water.
6. Chat until cleansed.

Detergent and rag

A brush will not help clean the sides of the eggplant. But an ordinary rag and dishwashing detergent - yes.

Try cleaning the container from the inside of greens as follows:

1. Fill a bottle with a small amount of hot water.
2. Add a few drops of dish soap.
3. Throw a cotton rag inside.
4. Shake until clean.
5. Drain dirty water.
6. Use tongs to remove the rag.
7. Rinse the vessel several times.

Magnet method

Owners of a pair of strong (neodymium) magnets can make a super device for washing eggplants. To do this you need:

1. Cut a piece of sponge (such that it fits into the narrow neck).
2. Make a cut approximately in the center.
3. Place a magnet inside the sponge.
4. Seal the hole.

Ready. Now you can safely wash any bottles (including large ones) by moving the second magnet from the outside.

Our health depends on the purity of drinking water. Many people carefully study the composition of purchased water, are interested in the depth of the well and the purification methods of the manufacturers. But it is important to pay attention to other points - proper storage and cleaning of eggplants. Even very healthy mineralized water in a vessel covered with greenery will become harmful and dangerous. At a minimum, its use threatens intestinal upset. A bottle with deposits must be washed. Fortunately, there are a lot of ways. And they are all quick and easy!
