Not sure if this belongs in this section.  The spray bottle that I usually use for misting died today, but I also emptied a spray bottle of systemic weedkiller today.  I have washed the bottle out with bleach and rinsed thoroughly with hot water several times.  Is it now safe to use the bottle to mist my other plants?  I would assume it is, since the directions on the weedkiller said that it may be ineffective, if there is rain within 6 hours of the application and obviously I would have removed all bar trace amounts, if not everything.

Corey, It seems like it would be ok to use.  The only other thing I might do is use soap.  Those systemic killers are usually oily.

Thanks Matt, I'll do that.  A new purpose made bottle would only cost £2.00 or so, but I thought, if I have the bottle, I may as well make use of it, rather than waste more plastic.
