Putty to clean antique glass and wet whiting for pewter are two other secrets of a successful cleaning day. For the insides'of decanters' and bottles nothing is better than to'sosp small pieces of blotting paper and fill the bottle with them, adding water to reach half way up, and then shaking' energetically until the contents froth.
