Im trying to recycle a bottle for eliquid purposes….Ive got the bottle and cap spotless with a nice hot soak, but the glass dropper tube has some brownish residue left over from the previous contents, (herbal mouthwash)…any creative ideas on how I can get in there….I don't have a wire brush that thin.

Dropper bottles are pretty inexpensive. On another note, Coke Cola is pretty good at cleaning.
Me, I use plastic bottles for juice but glass bottle for long-term storage.

Coffee anyone?
Got some Melitta style cone coffee filters? (Not the Mr. Coffee basket filters because they're too thin and wussy.) Try cutting a couple strips of that coffee filter paper and twisting that down in there. You may have to experiment with the width of the strips to use.

try the little brush that normally used to clean the baby feeding bottle, there are the little brush that use to clean the bottle nipple.
Yes that sounds pretty good....i'll keep an eye out.
Wish i could find a store that sold dropper glass and pump....but i doubt it.
Many plastic bottles that most pharmacies and veterinarians now use for medications...come with a dropper cap and dropper. If you take your empty bottle with you, to make sure the dropper cap & dropper fits it, I bet you could go to either place and buy a replacement.
I just wouldn't volunteer that you want it to use with eliquids, in case they don't approve of vaping. Droppers and dropper bottles are also used for some craft projects, for science activities kids do, etc.

Try soaking in vinegar or lemon juice. Dollar stores always have small bottle brushes that should fit in there also
I am a .....
Didnt realise that the glass bit detaches from the rubber tip....just ran a qtip inside it and alls well again.

I was gonna say... I've found that sometimes the glass tube doesn't like to go back easily. A little bit of VG around the lip helps with that.
Remove the dropper from the cap and cleaning will not be a problem. I do it all the time reusing e-Liquid glass dropper bottles.
Yeah I was a bit confused there. Just make sure everything dries really well, water in your juice is a pain.
@AJ Steele what were you confused about? When I said remove from the cap? The glass dropper has a lip which sits in the plastic/rubber cap. If stuck twist and remove carefully.
I should add that re-purposing although good is not good for liquids not meant for human consumption. I only reuse e-Liquid bottles and would never use medication or anything else.
You can pull the rubber bulb out as well. Hold it under hot water to soften it and maybe help it out with a fingernail. That makes it easier to get the bulb and the plastic cap clean.
