  3. ive always used STEAMING hot water to rinse them out about 5min each, then I wipe them down, rinse them again, and wipe em down again...

    Never had a problem from it (dont think at least)
     
  4. Not a big issue but, soap, water and bleach then rinsed throughly with hot water....
     

  5. were do i get hold of the 70+% alchole because i went to tesco's pharmacy and they refused to sell it to me a few weeks ago.. don't know why? i am going to make some hash with it as well.

    also any ideas on what to do with my roots and old soil?

    Thanks
     
  6. you can get 70% or better... go to Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, any grocery store

    as for the roots/soil... compost?
     
  7. were should i dispose of my old wastage, i.e. soil and compost.

    in the UK i think its a bit harder to get hold of, our walmart equivalent does not sell it.
     
  8. a pharmacy would not sell you rubbing alcohol? Are you underage (Not that it should matter for freaking rubbing alcohol). I could not even imagine trying to drink it. Ugh. lol. Thats strange that they would not sell you rubbing alcohol. But I am also in the US so I only know about over here. I regularly buy 91% rubbing alcohol. Thats what I use to clean my glass, rubbing alcohol and sea salt. Good Luck.

    But as others have said, don't worry about it if you can't get it. use soap water and a little bleach, rinse well with hot water, and you should be good to go.
     

  9. Wastage?!!??? You don't recycle your soil? That's wastage.

    A soak in a 10% bleach solution will do just fine. 1 part bleach, 9 parts water.

    Wet
     

  10. no im well over the age limit, thats why i thought they wouldnt sell it to me though! because im going to try and make some sort of mad 90% vodka. the way the woman looked confused and then asked someone else made me feel like i had stolen something from them.

    either way ill have another look. thanks for the help
     

  11. I always just say I'm cleaning out an engine for a dirt bike or something...
