An old arrowhead hunters trick works great on bottles too.
I found a 10 oz dairy bottle the other day in a small creek near town but it had some green gunk (apparently algae) in it and decided to clean it with some warm soapy water but it didn't do that great and there was still lots of stuff in it even after taking hose to it. Next day remembered i used lemon juice on a couple points that had algae on them. Poured some (1/3 full) L.J. in bottle while faucet was getting hot then filled rest way with water let it set walked away for 5 minutes glanced over at bottle and it looked brand new. Depending on algae though some bottles likely need to soak longer.
