Does anyone know what would be the best method of cleaning out old screenwash bottles?? I've bought a 25l drum of Snow Wax for cleaning the car, but plan on giving my mate 10/15l and plan on using old 5l screenwash bottles for storage. Would hot water be enough to strip the insides clear of any screenwash residue??

Just rinse them until they no longer foam. Even if there was a small trace left I'm sure it wouldn't hurt, I suspect snow foam shares some similar ingredients anyway.

Get a baby bottle brush and scrub it out. Bleach is probably the best.

I wouldn't have thought about Bleach? Might make up a diluted solution and rinse them out with that then.

Rinse bottle with cold water, drink until you no longer feel sick. (You may want to get a volunteer in for this).

Surely the inside of a screenwash bottle is going to be immaculate, due to the nature of the ingredients that are placed inside it?
