How do I clean a vintage demijohn?
One trick to cleaning a vintage demijohn is to put dried rice inside the jug and give it a shake to help clear out any particles stuck on the inside. Then clean it out with hot water and a cleaner, followed by a sterilizer. Shop a selection of demijohns from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
