Troubleshooting White Film in Decorator Bottles - Expert Tips and Solutions

[Sherry Leigh]

One of my best customers has the decorator bottles, and has used them 3+ times.
Problem - they now have a white film on the inside that won't wash out. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you clean it out? She has tried a bit of bleach in the wash water with no luck.
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! TIA!!!

Try baking soda. I have noticed that with real buttercream frosting there was a residue that wanted to cling in there while washing mine... I found really getting in there with dish soap (which helps the grease break up) worked wonders. Is it a film she can feel? Or is it staining? The film I noticed was a feeling kind of film which had me figure it musta been the shortening/butter sticking to it.. .

I had that and soaked them in hot/soapy water and they cleaned up very well

I had the same problem. Hot water, but vinegar worked pretty good as well. Full amount of dish soap squeezed in there...These I have had the best luck washing by hand with the scrubber that comes with them. Key to have hot hot hot water. Did I mention Hot water?

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that your customer is experiencing this issue with the decorator bottles. I have not personally encountered this problem, but I have heard of others who have. One solution that has worked for some is to soak the bottles in a mixture of hot water and white vinegar for several hours, then scrub with a brush or sponge. Another option is to use a paste of baking soda and water to scrub the inside of the bottles. I hope one of these methods helps to remove the film for your customer. If not, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team for further assistance. Thank you for being a loyal customer and for your support of our products. Happy cooking!
