jackbenimble Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 So I've read a thread on reusing glass bottles and how to clean them. The last FO in the bottle was a coffee blend and I cleaned that out and have sprayed the inside with rubbing alcohol. It is completely dry inside now but has the tiniest scent of sweetness left plus the smell of the rubbing alcohol too. I want to mix a floral blend in this bottle. So my question is- Will the new scent be affected at all by the alcohol smell or the original FO? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Typically when I do this, I rinse them with vinegar and then gently boil them for about 5 minutes. I never have any residual scent left over from the last scent by doing it this way. Not sure if the residual scent left in yours will affect the next scent going in or not, but my first thought would be yes, it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 So how much should I fill the bottle with vinegar? Completely full? Then do I sit the bottle in a sauce pot with water surrounding it and boil it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 just enough vinegar to rinse it out - dump it, and then I just put the glass right down into the water before bringing it to a gentle boil - then just let them simmer/boil for about 5 minutes.
