<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 211426, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> Here is what I do with decanters that have "sickness". I pour a couple of tablespoons of heavy mineral oil into the decanter slosh it all over the inside. Turn the decanter upside down to drain. After it stops dripping, I wipe the edge and turn it right side up and insert the top. The decanter will look fine until you open it to clean. I leave mine unopened for several years, just cleaning the outside. I only do this to decanters I am keeping. If I plan on selling them, wash them out,show the damage and off they go.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
