Cleaning Greasy Containers

22 years ago

I collect rainwater in 2 whiskey barrels and am thinking of this winter for my orchids etc (thawing snow is tedious).

A local restaraunt gets their cooking oils in 3-5 gal plastic 'bottles' not buckets and puts them in their trash. Thinking of filling these and letting them freeze (storage isn't a particular problem)...but they're really oily/greasy. Suggestions on how best to clean them up.

I'm not averse to elbow grease but can't really get at the inside (and have plenty on my do-list to work on). I'm not particularly an ecofreak but can't see putting more solvents into our wastewater stream.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'll also post this on tips n techniques. Thanks, Will
