It’s suddenly that time of year again, where one’s fancy turns to… cleaning. 🧽🪣

If we don’t often use decanters, we tend to forget about them, and they sit in the back of a cupboard or cabinet. If you’re like me, you might leave them on a countertop where they are exposed to dust, and kitchen grime.

Sure, you can try to blow the dust out of your decanter right before you fill it with wine, but trust me, this is not a good plan. 😶‍🌫️ Kitchen dust and wine do not mix. The ‘earthy’ vibe that you think will enhance the wine? Nah. Not a chance.

There are a few methods out there but I found the Riedel Bottle Cleaner to be one of the best, natural cleaners.

I had a decanter that had a lot of old wine sediment that water and salt alone couldn’t seem to loosen.

Carefully pouring the little stainless steel balls into the decanter (with water and about 2Tbsp of coarse sea salt) I swished for a full 2 minutes. Like magic, all of the stubborn sediment from the bottom and sides was loosened. After a good rinse, the decanter looked sparkling clean!✨

At $15.99 this cleaner is reusable, non-toxic and very user-friendly.

To be clear, this post is not sponsored content. I just found this was a cool product I purchased few years ago and wanted to share with you.

Happy cleaning!🫧

Cheers!🍷
