cleaning up molds after lotion bars

[awi]

Is there any real good way to clean up your molds and utensils after making lotion bars? No matter how much I wash, I can still feel it on my stuff? :?

I don't use molds I use the lotion sticks that way I just pour and am done.
Cleaning the utensils is a job as it's hard to cut the oils and butters. I just use super hot water and tons and tons of dawn.

1. Wipe them clean as you can w/ a dry paper towel.
2. Allow HOT water to run over them & ,elt residue.
3. Wipe again w/ a dry paper towel.
4. Make sure they are dry & try some orange essential oil on a paper towel to get them squeaky clean

I disposable items when I works w/ lip balm or lotion bars.

Baby wipes!

Then clean with hot water & soap, then rinse with more hot water

That's a bit of a worry really isn't it? 'Cleans waxy & oily residue and your bubbies tender parts'. :shock:

Oh I would never use a baby wipe on a baby!

I buy them to clean my rats cages, but find they have many uses around the house, such as this .. Awesome for cleaning serious grime off windows or tiles too

Now see,I would never have thought baby wipes weren't gentle & safe-a testament to their marketing I spose.Tho the window cleaning aspect is a definite redeeming feature-getting some next shop!

Just get the lotion-free ones unless you want lotions on your windows :wink:
