Best way to clean used shampoo/body wash bottles to use as pot plants?

I want to reuse my body wash/shampoo/conditioner containers as pots for plants - is anyone aware of any methods of cleaning that will get rid of all traces of the chemicals etc so that my plants have the best start possible? Thanks!Best way to clean used shampoo/body wash bottles to use as pot plants?
If you have a dishwasher, I would put them through that on the top rack. If you don't have a dishwasher, then I would rinse them out really well, at least until foam didn't come out of the top anymore, then soak them in warm clear water.





Kudos to you! I admire you for recycling! My son uses orange juice and soy milk carton which cannot be recycled because they are wax covered, paints or decorates the outside, and uses them to grow plants.





Eh, don't listen to the nay-sayers. Good to ask and good for you.Best way to clean used shampoo/body wash bottles to use as pot plants?
Once the containers have been washed in hot water and soap your plants won't be affected. I use yogurt tubs and small cups for pot plants, easier to get to and the plants get more water coverage than using taller shampoo bottles.
YOUR KIDDING RIGHT... WOW I THOUGHT ONLY THE KIDS ASKED SUCH SILLY QUESTIONS... SURE WASH THE BOTTLES OUT WITH WATER AND BLEACH AND THEN LEAVE THEM OUT ON THE FRONT PORCH FOR ALL THE NEIGHBORS TO SEE
Water !


Your plants will not suffer if traces of chemicals remain after a thorough washing.
Just rinse them out good til all soap is gone
