Decanter Cleaning Beads

Re-use again and again. Clean your decanters with these ingenuous stainless steel beads. All you do is add water and gently swirl. The high-grade steel pellets smoothly roll over and gobble up stains and deposits. Even hard to reach places will sparkle. Rinse and re-use over and over again.

brought to use with one of our decanters, but it really doesnt clean the decanter that well. They are easy to use and clean, but it would be better if it cleaned the decanter better.

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.

Pros

  • Easy to Use

Cons

Best Uses

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.

another partial answer to the problem

 
3.0

Pros

  • Easy to Use

Cons

  • Weak Function

Best Uses

  • Cleaning

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.
