Where we live we have very hard water. So we clean our carboys and bottles with Sal Soda and rinse everything well with hot water. Then we get big water spots. So then we fill the carboy up with cool water and add DISTILLED white vinegar and let it soak a little while. We also put some in a spray bottle and wipe down the outsides of the bottle. Bottles get dunked into a bucket of vinegar water or some vinegar tossed in during the rinse cycle in the dishwasher. Everything is then drip dried. Results are crystal clear clean carboys and wine bottles. We then just put a dry paper towel in the neck of the carboy and store it on its side, bottles are boxed upside down and ready to be filled.
DISTILLED white vinegar is DISTILLED so it doesnt have any bacteria. This wont work with apple cider vinegar! If you use DISTILLED white vinegar you will not infect your wines with bacteria. After they are drip dried you can not smell any vinegar on them.
