Magic Copper Balls For Cleaning Vases and Decanters

All my attempts to remove old, dried balsamic vinegar out of a square glass bottle with a very small neck failed; I remembered my pot of magic balls and voila! Job done: Simple and very effective.

Used the magic balls to remove some oo-nastiness gunked in a small china vinegar bottle. I put about a quarter of the ballss into the bottle with a drop of washing up liquid and warm water.holding the stopper in place, I shook the thing for less than a minute. I checked the inside and there was a foamy brown liquid; the balls having dislodged the gunk. Great stuff! Now, how to catch the little blighters when rinsing out the bottle? Solution? Catch 'em with a tea strainer! Works a treat!. Rinsed out the clean bottle and tipped the balls from the strainer onto some kitchen towel to dry. Job done.

Magic Balls - mine must be over 5 years old now and I cannot fault them. They do what they say on the lid. My only down side is that they must be completely dry before putting away as mine have rusted' and am not sure whether their cleaning properties would be as good.

I've looked at this item often wondering whether to buy or not. When one of my larger vases looked as though it had never been washed because I couldn't reach the bottom of it I took the plunge and bought the "magic balls" - they were great. I wish I had bought them sooner!

These are excellent, and I have used them for years, carefully cleaning and drying before returning them to their little pot. Recently I have started making my own milk kefir - which I store in a glass "milk bottle" with screw lid when ready to drink. This is very difficult to clean, but the magic balls do an amazing job. After talking to Lakeland, they have recommended that the Magic Balls are well cleaned with a good detergent to ensure no milk residue is left on the balls.
