Getting Juice Flavor Out Of Plastic

[Michelle]

I dumped a small 3ml bottle of coffee juice down the drain today hoping to fill the bottle with Dulcis for travel. However, after boiling, the bottle still has a strong coffee smell to it. Any magic tricks out there to clean this thing out?

You could try a little baking soda and hot water in it. Or maybe a few drops of white vinegar?

Thanks...will try anything. Don't want Coffee Dulcis. ICK.

LOL I don't want coffee anything! Just never developed a taste for ANY coffee....... Like snubb said... baking soda/vinegar should work. Just don't do both at same time!! LOL That's how the volcano science project works!!!

i had this issue with orange, after i cleaned it i left it sitting out open in a warm areas.

after some time it stopped smelling.

I wanted to use it tonight so I can't wait for it to air out. However, between boiling, alcohol, vinegar, and baking soda...it's finally starting to ease up. Guess I'll have to deal with a little coffee in my Dulcis. That's okay, though, the beer should cover the taste.

[Michelle]

I was wrong...can't deal with the coffee taste. I just ruined 3ml of Dulcis.

best thing you could ever do is buy a LOT of 3ml empties.

once i run low on the 10ml i swap down to the 3ml as it is easier to drip in smaller.

put the dulcis into any container with no top on it, not where it came from.

-edit: let it sit for a day and it should be fine.

clean out the othe one you put it into with lemon juice.

then let it sit

HOOORAYYYYYY BEER!!!!! Sorry for your loss!!!

[Michelle]

Thanks, Jolly...I will be buying 3 ml bottles next week. I was looking for a quick fix, but it isn't going to happen today...no biggie. I'll keep the Coffee Dulcis for when I'm actually drinking coffee and maybe it will be tolerable.

Vodka will clean it out
