Pill bottle de-gunking process
Based on a WikiHow article, I have a new process for the pill bottles that don't peel off cleanly.
1. Hot water process. I boil an electric kettle full of water and pour it in my bigger teapot. This time I have some towels down on my "desk" (glass platform over my keyboard) and that's helping immensely. I pour into the bottle and give it a bit. There are some that have to wait until the water's cooled down enough to not crumple the plastic.
2. The missing step that I got from the article: oil. I have an old takeout bowl and I put a bit of oil in the bottom and I'm just kind of rolling the sticky places in the oil. Then I let it sit for a while.
3. Alcohol wipe. It turns the adhesive and oil combination into a whitish fluid goo. Then I wipe it off with a cleanish paper towel.
4. I'm going to have to wash these with like dish soap, but I'm not doing that today.
