ReSterilizing Bottles

[Guest guest]

I know that everyone's thoughts are on gifts and such right now, but I want

to thank everyone that answered my post about how to sterilize bottles and

jars and tell the results of my efforts after the last couple days doing a

large order.

 

Chris, I did the dishwasher idea for drying all the little dropper bottles

and it worked perfectly. The little pipettes are harder to dry. Haven't

perfected that yet.

 

One thought about the black caps for the jars, that probably everyone

already knows, but after first drying the caps in the oven (conventional) I

remembered something I read about the white inner cardboard cap collecting

bacteria, so I pried one out, and it was full of water underneath, even

though it looked perfectly dry outside. So I pried off all the white inner

caps, and they all had water caught underneath. Has anyone had to do this?

Also, there is a residue of glue that held the cap in there, so now will I

have to remove all of that with alcohol or something, or can I let it just

harden without it effecting the formulas?

 

Thanks for all the help I always receive from this group,
