How to get the smell out of a laundry bottle

[HappyHenrySoap]

Any ideas? I've been rinsing this thing for days but it's still so strong and I'm worried the fragrance will leach into my lye water.

I did vinegar rinses, vinegar soaking, boiling water - it just took lots of that over and over again. Would love any better ideas that people bring, too.

I hafta apologize... I don't who it was, but they recommended ammonia. I owe (((that person))) a huge THANK YOU!!!

First I add 1 oz of ammonia to 31 oz. water in a glass liter/quart bottle. This gives me a general cleaning solution. I then pour it into empty EO & FO bottles to remove the lingering scent. Let set for a few hours or over night. Pour back into the liter bottle. Run through the dishwasher. Works great every time.

HTH :bunny:

I find rubbing alcohol will remove scents from a variety of bottles/containers.

Has anyone tried apple cider vinegar? I've seen that mentioned before

It was apple cider vinegar that I used.

I usually use hot water with good amount of baking soda to get red of the oil smell in glass bottles , I forget about it for few days, it works great but I didn't try it on laundry bottles.

I use a good amount of table salt in hot water. Shake vigorously then let sit for a while, maybe a couple of hours? Rinse thoroughly and the scent is usually gone. If it's a strong scent, I repeat and it's good to go.
