Cleaning Bottles?

[Guest guest]

What should I use to get the lingering scent out of used bottles and

eye droppers? Hot water? Soap? I can't afford the money or time to go

out and buy new bottles for blends when I have empty bottles that

smell laying around. Thanks!

Rubbing alcohol first... preferably the 90% stuff, but 70% will do... let

stand w/ the alcohol in them, drain, THEN wash in hot soapy water.

 

(Soap and water won't dissolve or remove the eo residue...that's what the

alcohol is for.)
