Decanter Cleaning Beads

We have a 25 year old crystal decanter that was quite stained by red wine on the inside. These beads really helped clean it up. Recommend using a screened strainer to catch the beads when you are done.

The picture shows small marbles. These are real tiny BBs. Your sink will be glad to swallow them. Your sink strainer will not even slow them down. Your plumber will thank you for the business.

Perhaps the stains on my decanter are too tough to tackle in one or two applications, but these beads, while removing some of the stains, still left some behind. Cleaning with the decanter sponge after using the beads helped a bit, and I have confidence that the beads will eventually work to remove all stains from the decanter. Perhaps it'll take a few more tries.

These cleaning beads are small but they pack a big punch. I immediately opened the container and poured the beads into my decanter, added a little water, swirled and watch the decanter start to sparkle. Thank you to the previous poster with the idea of pouring the beads onto a paper towel, drying them and using the paper towel to funnel the beads back into their container, worked like a charm.

Handling the cleaning beads so as not to spill any, especially when retrieving them from the decanter, can be tricky. Like the cleaning brush, the beads seem to be useful, but are not the complete cleaning solution -- the bottom of my decanter does not sparkle light the rest of it.

With patience, these beads removed years of build-up from an old and well-loved decanter. After use, pour water and beads out throgh a sieve to prevent loss.

When I first bought the beads I thought they were a novelty that I'd never use. Well I use them every time I decant a bottle or 2. Seriously, if you own the amadeo lyra decanter you have to have these - they are the only way to clean out the bottom. Actually they would be great with any decanter. So buy the beads, $ well spent, you will use them.

The Decanter cleaning beads worked extremely well. They did the job quickly and effectively with easy clean up.

This product is worth every penny! It is especially effective in cleansing decanters of unusual shape. Reusable.

I bought these for myself with a new wine decanter that I received as a gift. My dad had an older decanter that had this really big stain on the side so I decided to put this product to the test. It took a little bit of time to sit there and swirl the beads around (about 15 minutes but this was a big, old stain so I am impressed) but the stain came out and the decanter looks like new. There are some reviews complaining about the size of the container versus the picture and while that is true that does not really have any bearing on how effective the product is just don't be expecting a huge case. It is about the size of a quarter around and maybe an inch thick. It can be tricky to get the beads out without losing them but I find that folding a paper towel and holding it over the top and pouring the water through while catching the beads works best. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a clean decanter and does not mind a little bit of challenge to keep from losing the beads.

Completely cleaned the 'scaling' left in our red wine decanter -- we had been using the decanter for about a year with no ability to scrub the bottom - these beads did the trick! It took me two tries to get the decanter completely clean, but now it looks brand new. Very glad I made the purchase! When I'm done cleaning, I simply empty the beads from the decanter into a fine mesh sive, rinse with water, and allow them to air dry. a funnel or a very steady hand will get all the beads back into their container!

Easy to use, but not efficient enough to clean hard to reach decanters.

I was excited to use these to erase build up in wine decanters AND they do make a difference. Shaking them in decanter wlll wear away stain BUT they are very very tiny and impossible to manage. They went down the drain, slid through fingers on to the floor. Tiny metal beads. Too hard to manage even for the results. Perhaps they might be larger?

From the picture, the container looks like something about as big around as a hockey puck. In actuality, its about the size of a half-dollar. I probably wouldn't have paid [$] for an item this size. That said, it works and works well. It removed old build up from a Nelson style decanter after a few minutes workd.

These worked very well for cleaning the humidier portion of a sleep machine. The design of the humidier makes it very difficult to clean. These make it much easier to clean. The only problem is getting them back into their container.
