How to clean jars and glass bottles

To clean and sanitize bottles or jars or containers which have a narrow mouth that do not allow us to put our hands or sponge, we can simply fill them with soapy water or a mixture of water and detergent, accompanying it with a handful of raw grains of rice. Then, cover the mouth with the Palm of the hand, and shake vigorously.
