how to cut open a lotion bottle?

Cutting open a lotion bottle is a useful trick when you want to get every last bit of product out. Here's how you can do it safely and effectively:

Materials Needed:

• Sharp scissors or a utility knife

• Towel or cloth (for grip and protection)

• Spoon or spatula (to scoop out the lotion)

Steps:

1. Preparation:

• Ensure the bottle is nearly empty and that you have used as much lotion as possible by squeezing.

• Clean the outside of the bottle if it’s slippery.

2. Safety First:

• Place the bottle on a stable surface like a countertop.

• Hold the bottle with a towel or cloth to prevent it from slipping and to protect your hand.

3. Making the Cut:

• If the bottle is harder plastic, carefully use a utility knife to make a small incision where you plan to cut. Then, you can either continue with the knife or switch to scissors if the plastic allows.

• If the bottle is soft enough, you can use sharp scissors. Cut across the middle of the bottle or slightly higher, depending on where you think the lotion is trapped.

4. Accessing the Lotion:

• Once the bottle is cut open, use a spoon, spatula, or your fingers to scoop out the remaining lotion.

• Transfer the lotion into a small container with a lid to keep it fresh.

5. Disposal:

• After extracting all the lotion, properly dispose of or recycle the bottle as per your local recycling guidelines.

Tips:

• If you're worried about making a mess, do this over a sink or place a cloth under the bottle to catch any stray lotion.

• Be cautious when using sharp tools to avoid injury.

This method helps you get the most out of your product and reduce waste!
