When donating any recycled material such as milk jugs, glass containers, or plastic containers please thoroughly clean them. I have been collecting milk jugs for an art project and my room is starting to SMELL like spoiled milk.
I figured I would take the time now to recommend an easy way you can clean these containers BEFORE sending them to school with your student in four simple steps. A quick rinse is not enough!
Step 1:
Fill empty jug half way full of hot water. Replace lid, swirl, and dump out the water
Step 2:
Put a drop of dish soap inside of the jug. Fill half way with hot water again. Replace lid and SHAKE jug.
Step 3:
Place jug under running tap water until the soap overflows and only water remains in the jug
Step 4:
Dump water out of jug and take a sniff - if it smells anything like what was in the jug before, repeat steps 2 and 3. If it smells like nothing you are done!
Please, please, please for the sanity of your art teacher and her sense of smell do this before sending milk jugs (or donated containers of any kind)!
