Question from PJ

I would like to refill my own glass bottle with bulk olive oil at the grocery store, but I have not had good results cleaning the bottle. I use hot water and dish washing liquid. I soak the bottle, fill it with soapy water and shake it. I do this several times. Unfortunately, a thin film of oil remains. I find the narrow neck bottles easier to pour out of, but impossible to get truly clean. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Debra’s Answer

Readers? Any suggestions?

I just put some dish soap in the bottle and shake it around and it comes out clean.
