A cleaner for removing particulate matter on bottles moving on a conveyor line. As the bottles move along the conveyor, they contact brushes in the form of continuous, endless belts. The belt has motion relative to the bottles which it contacts. Preferably, the belt moves in the same direction, but faster than, the bottles. On the other side of the bottles, a screw auger having spaces large enough for the bottles to fit in may assure the correct motion of the bottles. Alternately, a brush also in contact with the bottles and on the other side of the belt brush may also help assure the proper cleaning of the bottles. The second brush may take the form of a rotating cylinder, a rotating auger formed of brush bristles, or even a second endless, continuous belt brush.
