[Guest guest]

hello

 

i try to recycle everything

when creating my own essential oil scent i use glass jars then let

stand for several days, if i like the scent i place the oils in

sellable containers ---- the QUESTION ----

 

i want to reuse my glass bottles !! How do i remove all the oil

residue / scent so i can again begin creating a new scent ??

As the fragrance is volatile, you could try dry microwaving the

bottles (without lids) for a few minutes. That sometimes drives out

aromatic molecules, but not always. Beware of the hot glass afterwards!

our process for cleaning out beakers, measuring cylinders and other glass

labware..

 

FIRST 90% rubbing alcohol (a bit harder to find than the normal 70%, but

it seems to make a difference...if you can't find it, go with the 70%)

 

let stand with the rubbing alcohol for a bit... then drain the alcohol and

wash in HOT soapy water..or the dishwasher... the initial alcohol rinse

dissolves the EO's.

 

don't ever make the mistake of putting something that you've blended oils

in in the dishwasher without the alcohol rinse first... the whole load of

dishes comes out smelling like rose...or jasmine...or vetiver... etc.

 

not what I want in my breakfast cereal!
