Step 2

Add in 1 cup white vinegar and a squirt of dish soap per gallon of water. The vinegar deodorizes, disinfects and removes water spots and hazy residue. The dish soap cuts through food residue and boosts cleaning power.

Place the jug into the water and let soak for a few minutes, rotating every minute or so to get a thorough cleaning on all sides.

Step 4

Scrub the glass jug with a clean rag. Use a bottle brush if the bottle has a small lip that is difficult to clean.
