My friend was throwing away a demijohn because it was sitting in her yard for years and it's dirtier than hell.
I been trying everything I can think of to scrub all the dirt and grime from the inside walls.
Do you know any chemicals that eat away at dirt without scrubbing?
I can't get anything in there that's abrasive enough to clean the inside.

Add sand, water, and dishsoap then shake it.

I love that shape.
You can use vinegar. Fill it up, forget it for a month. Use it after cleaning with normal elbow grease. I have tons of carboys and demijohns. I got a lot of old bottles left out in the forest at a dump dated around 1920-1950. I've had to buy aluminum rods from the local hardware store and make my own tools that can fit inside them for easy cleaning. Mineral build up had to be cleaned with a weak acid.

Ball bearings, sand, laundry powder.

A bunch of small hard things
A lubricant
And a solvent or soap.
And if nothing else has worked- dilute hydrochloric acid will murder anything dirt or calcium deposit you can think of
Cool bottle though

Use OxiClean or other cleaning powder that has high Sodium Percarbonate content. Simply add the detergent, fill up the carboy with warm water, then wait an hour or two and you're done.

Ditto most of the comments here. An abrasive, water, and vigorous shaking. Personally I'd use walnut shells as the abrasive.
Muriatic acid would also be an option. Diluted of course.
get strong magnet, wrap in sponge, insert in bottle, use other magnet outside bottle to scrub it.

Ever make a dope pipe out of a lightbulb? Same thing.
Salt and alcohol work well for cleaning a bong.

Degenerate. I hate your kind.

Sand or salt + ice cubes, it works for crusty coffee pots and its not a chemical.

Get a carboy scrubber. Abrasive as fuck and you can bend it exactly to your needs. This, some hot water and dish soap.
