I have several empty Androtics bottles that I’d like to use to make my own perfume with essential oils and perfumer’s alcohol. I may dump some EOW into one of the mixes so my question is what is the best way to remove all traces of the former [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) in an old cobalt bottle? I’ve washed them several times with dish soap (sealed and left in overnight) but I still get a “lingering” scent. Was thinking of filling them with good old clorox and letting it sit for few days, or would that be too harsh? ---

Try hydrogen peroxide. I think I remember reading somewhere that hydrogen peroxide works, but don’t quote me on that. Or maybe try rinsing it out with some perfumer’s alcohol. ---

thanks very much - I’'ll try the peroxide.
