Editorial Review:
Product Description:
ThisDecanter/Bottle Cleaner from Riedel makes cleaning decanters and thermos flasks easier than ever. The secret is the stainless steel pellets that work to remove all dirt, residue, sediment and stains. Simply fill the vessel half way up with water, add the pellets, and swish it around for about two minutes. When you're done, simply strain, rinse and dry the pellets and they are good to use again and again.
Amazon.com Review:
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most innovative, and Riedel's bottle cleaner beads are a case in point. These small, smooth stainless steel balls submerge in water where they sink to the bottle's hard-to-reach corners and bottom. When the bottle is gently agitated, the balls create fiction against the hard surfaces, knocking off unwanted residue and providing an even, streak-free cleaning. No more risking cutting hands or accidental breaks! These beads work perfectly in narrow-necked bottles, vases, or any irregularly shaped glass piece. When not in use, they store in a handsome and convenient black plastic jar with a screw-off lid and the words "Bottle Cleaner" in crisp, white lettering. This handy item makes a great add-on gift with glassware and decanters. --Kara Karll

I know this seems gimmicky, but these beads really do work. Hard water stains and discoloration is removed from those areas impossible to reach. The cons would be they are a bit of a pain to work with and scatter easily if you're not careful, but once you get a system down, then no problem. I simply pour mine out of the decanter into a small strainer and then dry with a towel. The entire package is also very small and easy to store.

The same task can very well be accomplished with rice. Yes, rice. Cheap, disposable, and you will never care if you lose the grains in the process. Plus, you will not have to drain, rinse and store the beads =)
Old trick.

Got this to clean a REALLY old crystal wine decanter. At first they did not work. I added some white vinegar to the water and the beads and it did a really nice job getting all of the old gunk off the bottom of the decanter. Will probably work better when you use them from the start.

Saw this and thought, what the heck, I have an antique silver and crystal decanter that has been in the family for 100 years. My parents gave it to hubby and I for a wedding gift, but it was would never come clean on the bottom. So this came today, and I immediately unearthed said decanter to give it at "whirl" (hah) and it worked like a charm.
In 5 minutes the piece looks better than it has in 15 years and after unearthing the silver polish, looks fantastic. Now commands a place of honor in the living room.
Simple, easy, effective.

I bought this as a main present for my uncle. I was disappointed that it was about the size of a silver dollar. So it looked more like a stocking stuffer. You can probably save some money by going to home depot and getting a bunch of ball barrings. Don't know how it works though cause it wasn't for me
