How to Clean Used Oil Containers?

Prepare some eggshells, crush them and put them into the oil bottle or container, then add hot water and shake vigorously. After a few minutes, the oil inside will come off. Prepare some fine sand and baking soda, put them into the oil bottle or container, then add hot water and shake for a while before rinsing thoroughly. Pour a little dishwashing detergent into the oil bottle or container, then add boiling water and let it sit for a while. Shake a few times before pouring out and rinsing.
As a car owner who frequently changes oil myself, I believe cleaning used oil containers should start with pouring out residual waste oil and wearing gloves to prevent skin contact. Then soak the container with diesel or specialized cleaner for several hours to effectively dissolve oil stains. Next, scrub the container walls and corners with a stiff brush, paying special attention to threaded openings and other areas prone to dirt accumulation. After washing, rinse thoroughly with water and allow to air dry naturally or use a hair dryer to speed up drying, checking for complete cleanliness. For stubborn oil sludge residues, I repeat the soaking process. Cleaned containers can temporarily store tools or be recycled to prevent water pollution and ensure environmental safety. Remember, motor oil is toxic, so keep children away during cleaning and preferably operate in a well-ventilated area.
