Hi everyone,

I wanted to put some new FO in one of my extra amber bottles, so what is the best way I can clean it so I can re use it? I hate throwing them out! thanks for all your help :)
 
I take my amber glass bottles and soak them for at least a day in a hot water and (lots of) baking soda solution. Then I rinse repeatedly. I usually buy new caps because I have difficulty getting the caps clean.
The other thing I do is put new fragrances or eo blends into bottles that are cleaned but have previously held something similar (for example, a patchouli-sweet orange blend goes into a bottle that formerly held patchouli, a new 'green' floral goes into a bottle that previously held a floral, that sort of thing.)
 
bottles can be washed and then rinsed with alcohol, but you will need new caps.
