ThisDecanter/Bottle Cleaner from Riedel makes cleaning decanters and thermos flasks easier than ever. The secret is the stainless steel pellets that work to remove all dirt, residue, sediment and stains. Simply fill the vessel half way up with water, add the pellets, and swish it around for about two minutes. When you're done, simply strain, rinse and dry the pellets and they are good to use again and again.
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most innovative, and Riedel's bottle cleaner beads are a case in point. These small, smooth stainless steel balls submerge in water where they sink to the bottle's hard-to-reach corners and bottom. When the bottle is gently agitated, the balls create fiction against the hard surfaces, knocking off unwanted residue and providing an even, streak-free cleaning. No more risking cutting hands or accidental breaks! These beads work perfectly in narrow-necked bottles, vases, or any irregularly shaped glass piece. When not in use, they store in a handsome and convenient black plastic jar with a screw-off lid and the words "Bottle Cleaner" in crisp, white lettering. This handy item makes a great add-on gift with glassware and decanters. --Kara Karll

Or you could try:
If you can fit marbles into the opening of the decanter they will work also. Concerned about the cleaniless of the marbles? Boil them in water, makes a racket but sterlizes them. You can also at times clean the inside of a bottle with salt (rock salt is better harder and larger) or chips of ice, or get some small pebbles the size of a pea and use them. The ice chips will melt when you shake them around, so you might have to do 2, 3, or 4 rounds of using them but they will clean off the inside of the glass... more info
Bad buy:
Not much to say except that these dont really work. Go buy a decater brush and save your money. Or if you are intent on buying these then go buy some silver bb's for 1/8 the price. It's the same thing.
They actually work:
OK so it is a tiny jar of BB's, yes ball bearings. But they will clean off the stains.
BAD:
Product came open, little balls loose all over the box , never able to recover them all. Not even worth the effort to return for refund. No instuctions included - Horrible Marketing. Horrible Product
