I have found that adding a couple of tablespoons of uncooked rice to
bottles and shaking provides some gentle scouring action. Good for
removing crusted on deposits. A bottle brush available from lab supply
houses is also a good addition to any darkroom.

Subject: [pure-silver] cleaning containers
Hello everyone. It seems like it's been so long.... I haven't
had the chance to do any photographing in quite some time. The divorce
is final now and slowly I'm getting back to a normal life. That means
I'll be able to do some photographing and darkroom work again in the
future. I'm moving my darkroom to my mom's property, where I now live,
and am wondering a few things. I was wondering about the old bottles of
developers and fixers and wondering if it will hurt anything to just
rinse them out with water or should I start with fresh containers. They
have been setting there with old chemicals in them for over a year now.
I hate to have to buy all new containers being that I'm on a tight
budget. Will the buildup in the bottles cause any trouble for me?
