💡 Tips for Glass Bottles:
- Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent cracking or shattering.
- Use a bottle brush for thorough cleaning of narrow-neck bottles.
- For DIY projects like homemade oils, infused drinks, or reed diffusers, glass bottles are ideal because they don’t absorb flavors or odors.
