I'm on the fence with cleaning cartos! Mostly from the standpoint of being a PITA. I like the idea of just using a one carto with a specific juice, re-filling it until it's thrashed and moving on to a new carto.
Having said that...I do need to acknowledge that this is totally lazy of me and I can save $$ if I do clean and use again - not to mention - even with a lil carto - cuts down on my imprint on landfills..lol.
So, like my laundry, I'll let em stack up and I am sure I will try on a cleaning day project and try it. I had someone tell me to avoid putting the cartos in boiling water - on the stove. It was recommended to pop a glass container in the microwave, bring to a boil, remove and then place your cartos in the water - agigtate it once in a while - let soak for 5 or 10 mins. Sling the water out and repeat - let dry for a few days. Also came the tip of banding together a large group of cartos (with a rubberband or something) place them all in the foot of a knee hi stocking and sling all at once!
I'll be excited to watch this thread!! I have diff jars for diff stuff and I just pop off the caps and soak them in alcohol until I need a new one! Same for condoms if I use that method to quickly fill one! I've not thrown out one thing (unless a dud) since I started..lol. I'm growing quite the little collection!
