I would put white vinegar in the bottle and let it stand for several hours.
Then put some *tiny* pebbles in it and swish it around. You need to do that
with enough firmness to scrub the inside of the bottle, but not so hard as
to damage it. I would also use bleach in the bottle that needs sanitizing.
