how to clean and re-use glass bottles for new ejuice?

[gearjunky]

so im into DIY ejuices now and been using glass bottles...im ready to make new juices and wondering is there certain way to clean my glass bottles before I make new juices? should I clean them with what, and how? anything special I should do first? I don't want the new juices to taste like old juices...

I usually rinse them out with hot water and then soak them in a Tupperware dish with a mild antibacterial soap. Then I rinse them thoroughly and dip them in another bowl I have filled with 100 proof vodka and set them up covered to dry. Sometimes I boil them before the vodka dip. That's just my personal preference.

I do the same as magnus. Minus the vodka step. Just dont find that necessary. To sterilize Ill put the bottles in the top rack of the dishwasher and just run the drying cycle for that. Then Ill set up a clean towel and roll op one end to lay the bottles tilted upside down for any remaining drying.

If I have a Lot, I just put them on the Prongs of the Dish Washer and run them with the Other Dishes.

If I Only have 1 or 2, I just rinse them out in Warm Soapy water ad then give them a Good Rinse.

I have a jar that I keep on my sink and when I empty a bottle I just fill it with hot water and soak it overnite...rinse it out good the next day and let it dry. Then they go back in the box.

so, it sounds like I don't have to do anything special...just a good old fashioned cleaning....simple enough. thanks !!!

Yeah like I said, I just use the vodka dip because I'm a bit of a germ-a-phobe. Just makes me more comfortable.

I just rinse new bottles in hot water. Then let dry and fill.

I'm not dead yet ....

(However, it's probably not a good idea to let the dog lick the inside of the caps before filling)
