just an FYI: if you’re thinking about saving a yellow bird bottle for something don’t run it through the dishwasher.

did you expect the interior to somehow get clean with such a tiny opening?

No shit? It’s plastic?
Just wash it out by hand a few times.

Those bottles were never designed to be hot filled, and your dish washer gets up to 150° or more

Screwed open the nozzle on one of these yesterday and built up air pressure shot the sauce that was stuck in the tip directly into my eye.
Pepper sprayed myself

Just rinse it with water

I’m not sure why everyone is being so harsh. I make this mistake all the time. You need to blow into the opening really hard to make the bottle return to its shape. Then you can wash it in the dishwasher.

I don’t even put plastic that’s supposedly safe in the dishwasher or microwave lol.

You can put it in the dishwasher, you just have to put it on the top rack and not use heated drying.

Dishwasher Drying Temperature: 110F – 170F
PET Softening Point: 140F
PET bottles are stretched from a preform that’s injection molded. The process imbues stresses into the material that the polymer really wants to get rid of. When you apply heat to it… it attempts to go back to being a happy little preform. There are PET’s that can resist this process but basically most PET bottles will do this once you get them near 140F.

Pro-tip: please don’t reuse plastic bottles for anything involving food or drinks. Micro and nano plastics are real, and will like be our generations asbestos or lead gas.
Most plastics are not made to be reusable and even if they say: microwave safe/BPA free/food grade/non toxic, they will absolutely leach when exposed to heat and sunlight
