Use them for cleaning around the home .. pour them into your mop

water.

Exactly which oils do you speak of? Some will still be good and some

will be even more valuable now.

Others can reply on this one .. I have ideas of what they do but in

> Fragrance oils?,

 

Absolutely no comment on that one. ;-)

 

> Thanks,

Welcome you be .. keep smiling. :-)

Wow.  I've taken bunches of bottles off of some of my perfumer friends

hands.  Why?  Well I'm the grandchild of a depression survivor.  Why do

I do this.  Well.  I take Ever clear and I swirl it around in the

bottle.. Why?  Well.  Cause I use the " dregs " left in the bottle to make

my own stash of goodies.  For myself.  Most of my perfumer friends are

thankful for the taking the bottles off their hands, then when I'm through

with the bottle what do I do with it.  I recycle it again.  IN to what

you ask?  stepping stones, glass mosaics.. Just about anything I can think

of.  (I'm a creative being I am.. and if there's one way to use something

there's got to be at least 2 or 3 more.)  Think of scenting fake

flowers?  I also use the sprays for my fake christmas tree.  (I'm highly

allergic to most pine mold.. I live in houston, so we ended up getting a

fake tree.. and although I'm highly allergic to the tree, I can mix up a

little bit of christmas tree perfume and spray it around when I get to

feeling unhappy about 1 the price of good looking trees (real ones), the

fact that my hubby and I rather not vacuum up pine needles and the fact

that after about 2 weeks in our house I become likened to " Sneezy " from the

Snow White (disney version.)

 

 

 

So there you go.

 

 

 

I'm also a recycled hippy.

& gt; Howdy Evemary,

& gt;

& gt; & gt; Hi All,

& gt; & gt; I have a question what do you do with essential oils, like citrus

& gt; that

& gt; & gt; really only last for six months, how do you dispose of them

& gt; properly?

& gt;

& gt; Use them for cleaning around the home .. pour them into your mop

& gt; water.

& gt;

& gt; & gt; What do you do with the oils that are like years old, like from 05

& gt; are

& gt; & gt; they still good.?

& gt;

& gt; Exactly which oils do you speak of? Some will still be good and some

& gt; will be even more valuable now.

& gt;

& gt; & gt; What also do you do with your bottles that they were stored in?

& gt; & gt; I have tons of amber 16oz bottles? do you recycle them? if

& gt; & gt; so how?

& gt;

& gt; Others can reply on this one .. I have ideas of what they do but in

& gt; my company we don't reuse or save used bottles.

& gt;

& gt; & gt; Fragrance oils?,

& gt;

& gt; Absolutely no comment on that one. ;-)
