    Lead shot is traditional, get your cook or kitchen maid to pick them out of the pheasants, add handful to the carafe, a touch of water and slosh around for 2 mins.

    no bottle brush try a dish cloth and the long wooden handle of wooden spoon might work

    Depends how narrow it is, maybe a toothbrush :D don't use your own of course

    Soaking it might work, chemicals/solutions would depend on what it's made of
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Hi Holidays,

    There was a recent thread on this that should help so I'll add your thread to it to keep all the suggestions together.

    Crush a few eggshells, add hot water and swish around, or sand works very well with a little water.

    If you want to dry it, let drip dry upside down on a cloth to get most of the moisture, then gently blow dry with a hairdryer ( no streaks). Also works for vases.

    You could also upend carafe on kitchen roll holder if it has a thin metal 'stick'
