How to Up-Cycle Empty Essential Oil Bottles
#1 CLEAN YOUR EMPTIES
Remove the caps, orifices + labels. If the labels don't peel off nicely, soak them for 10min in a bowl of hot water + 3 TBSP of baking soda + 1 drop of dish soap + 5 drops of lemon oil. Remove the labels and glue + let air dry.
TIP: Before cleaning, take the caps off and store in a jar of epsom salts overnight to get the last few drops out. Use the salts in your bath...
