i start by using a scrubber on the outside and anything that sticks i use a s.o.s pad on and then the inside i use a variety of bottle brushes and for all the stuff i cant reach i use a bunch of bb,s with some soap and water and shake them around till i get it where i want it..im not sure how to get the very stuck on mineral deposits on the inside but i may try some solvents and see if that will do it..

Nice bottles, good clean job. Have a 2100 also,like the manual groundbalance, reliable PI detector.Old tech,from 1999 but still works good.

Some cheap toilet bowel cleaner for the stubborn spots. It works great with the BB's.
