second use for dish liquid containers?
or syrup containers? I reuse the dish liquid containers in the tub for the kids and the kiddie pool. Any other ideas?

I sometimes like to store various cooking oils in thoroughly cleaned out bottles. The squeeze top makes it easy to pour just the right amount into my pans.
Those worried about "plastic" & food may not want to use this tip but I like living life on the edge.
More often than not I use old soy sauce containers for the same thing. Shaker top does the trick.~*Darlene*~

I would use them for watering houseplants instead of buying a watering can.
Store homemade bubbles in for the kids.
Also, I wonder if you had ones that weren't too big, if you could put children's glue in them and use that. It may be cheaper to buy glue in big quantities and then put it in the smaller containers rather than buy the smaller glue bottles. (just a thought)

I keep a clean dish soap container in the bathroom. I fill it with warm water and use it for an extra step of clean during those few days of the monthly cycle.

I filled a large one with water and put it in the toilet tank, to have less water needed to fill the tank.

I use one for putting miracle grow on my plants. I mix the concentrate with water right in the soap bottle and it's easy to apply into those small pots without splashing.
And I do rinse the soap out just because it's the last of the soap, but it doesn't hurt plants anyway.

Might be good for the park or beach. Clean hands, remove sand, cool skin or cool down hot benches or playground stuff.
