I treat it like I am making jelly- I wash the jars well in dish soap, then rinse in hot water at least twice. Then would come the scalding water, but I don't do this for the CS, and the dishwasher does not either. I then rinse with distilled water, pouring in a little and swishing around, then I pour that into the next jar, if I am using one. I rinse in distilled water like that 3 times (only because in the lab that is what we used to do- 2 times is sufficient). Then I pour in the distilled water for my batch of cs. This seems to work fine.

Once I used peroxide to clean out a small glass jar with a small neck- 3% H2O2, a couple of times, shaking it around pretty good, then the distilled water rinses. I use that for storing the CS by the bedside, and it seems to be fine.

Hope this helps.  Kathryn

Thanks again, Dan, Will plan to follow your instructions, except I don't have a dishwasher, but will wash carefully and use several rounds of boiling water in them and the hydrogen peroxide. Is the 3 percent H202 strong enough? And how much should I use for a quart jar? Ruth
