Upcycling Your Empties

May 10, 2021
If you love to use essential oils as I do, then you probably have A LOT of empty essential oil bottles.  And if you don’t yet, you will soon.  It doesn’t take long to build up a pile of empties. Trust me on this!
 
“One’s obsession with oils is not measured by how many oils they have, but rather, how many empty bottles they can’t bear to part with.”
                                                                                       Essential Oil Style 
 
So what can you do with all those empty essential oil bottles you can’t bear to part with?  Here are 30 creative & practical uses for them.  There are ideas for using up the last few drops at the bottom of an essential oil bottle. There are ideas for making essential oil sprays, roller bottles, diffuser blends, bath salts, and more using the empty (and almost empty) essential oil bottles.  And there are even ideas for upcycling the empty essential oil bottles into things unrelated to essential oils (such as magnets, lights, vases, and more).
 
 
 
 
#1:  Stinky Shoe Eliminator
Do you have an almost empty bottle of Purify essential oil?  Use it to get rid of that stinky shoe smell.
Here’s what you do:
  1. stuff a cotton ball or two into the essential oil bottle
  2. put the cap back on
  3. leave the cotton balls in there for a day or two — the cotton ball will absorb any leftover essential oil
  4. after a couple of days, pull the cotton ball out of the essential oil bottle (use tweezers if needed)
  5. insert essential-oil infused cotton balls into shoes (one into the toe area of each shoe)
  6. leave them in shoes 1-2 days (at least overnight)
  7. remove cotton balls and enjoy your clean & fresh-smelling shoes
 
Don’t have a nearly empty Purify bottle?  No worries.  While Purify is probably the best stinky shoe eliminator, there are other antibacterial and antifungal essential oils that can be used as a substitute.  Give one of these a try:  tea tee, cinnamon, clove, thyme, basil, oregano, rosemary, peppermint, lemon, or eucalyptus.
 
 
#2:  Travel Essential Oil Set
Do you have favorite essential oils that you like to travel with?  Use your empty (or nearly empty) bottles to create a set of travel essential oils.
Here are some of my favorite essential oils to travel with:
  • lavender (sleep, calming, tension relief, minor cuts & burns, bug spray, and more)
  • tea tree (wipe down hotel room switches/doorknobs, deodorizer, immune support, and more)
  • lemon (wake-me-up, focus, immune support, treats grease stains, anti-itch, odor eliminator, sanitizer, and more)
  • peppermint (tummy tamer, tension relief, wake-me-up, focus, jet lag, bug repellent, and more)
  • bergamot (uplifting, relieves stress, energizing, jet lag, and more)
  • lemongrass (muscle soreness, bug repellent, deodorizer, immune support, clear breathing, muscle relaxer, tension relief, and more)
  • eucalyptus (clear breathing, immune support, stress relief, muscle soreness, cleaning/sanitizing, and more)
  • frankincense (jack of all trades– great for pretty much everything)
  • fractionated coconut oil- carrier oil so I can easily dilute essential oils while on the road
 
#3:  Carrier Oils for Purse or Travel
Essential oils are extremely concentrated, which is why it’s so important to dilute them with a carrier oil (like fractionated coconut oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, or olive oil).  I keep my favorite roller bottle blends in my purse and I travel with them as well, but sometimes you need to dilute essential oils on the go.  So I like to keep a little bottle of carrier oil (FCO) in my purse at all times.  That way I’m always prepared.  This has come in very handy over the years!
 
To clean your empty essential oil bottle in order to reuse it for a great on-the-go bottle of carrier oil, here’s what you do:  remove all labels, remove the cap and orifice, let soak in a bowl of hot soapy water overnight, then I run them through the sterilize cycle on my dishwasher (you could boil them on the stovetop instead to sterilize), and let dry completely.
 
Here’s a quick rule-of-thumb guide to the dilution rates I try to use:
 
 
 
 
 
#4:  Natural Hand Sanitizer
This is one of my absolute favorite ways to use up the last couple of drops of essential oil in an almost empty bottle.  It also works great with cleaned and sterilized empty essential oil bottles.  I keep these little hand sanitizers everywhere: in my purse, in my desk, glove compartment, picnic basket, school bag, gym bag, …
Hand sanitizer recipe for 15 ml essential oil bottle:
 
 
  • fill the bottle about 3/4 full with witch hazel
  • add 3 drops of essential oil if starting with a cleaned and completely empty bottle (or add 1-2 drops if starting with an empty but unwashed bottle that still smells of the essential oil). 
Here are some combinations that work great for hand sanitizers:
  • tea tree, lavender, and lemon 
  • eucalyptus, rosemary, and lavender 
  • clove, cinnamon, and lemon
 
optional- as hand sanitizer can be a bit drying to the skin, add a drop or two of one or more of these great moisturizers to keep your hands nice and soft.  You can add all of these, or none of them, just use what you have on hand.
  • carrier oil (fractionated coconut oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba, etc)
  • vitamin e 
  • glycerin
put on a spray top 
gently shake or roll the bottle to mix

#5:  Dry Shampoo for Stinky Dogs
No more stinky dog!  This homemade non-toxic dry shampoo for dogs is super simple to make and gets rid of pet odor fast.
This is a great use-up for an empty (but not yet washed out) bottle of lavender essential oil bottle.
How to make it:
  1. fill empty (or almost empty) essential oil about 3/4s full with baking soda
  2. if the bottle had been washed out and is completely empty of essential oil, then add 1 drop of lavender essential oil.  (if the bottle was empty, but hadn’t been washed out yet and still has the smell of essential oils, then do NOT add any essential oil.)
  3. shake to mix
  4. put the cap back on
  5. let it let sit overnight so the baking soda can absorb the essential oil
When you’re ready to use:
  1. pour contents into a shaker or into a small strainer
  2. shake the dry shampoo over the dog’s coat, starting at its bottom and staying away from the dog’s head
  3. wait about 5 minutes
  4. then brush the dog’s coat to evenly distribute the dry shampoo mixture throughout her fur
 
 
#6:  Sleepy Pillow Spray
Fall asleep fast with this calming DIY pillow spray.  All it takes is water, a couple of drops of essential oil (suggestions below), and Epsom salt (optional).  Simply mix, shake, and spritz, and you’ll be dozing off to dreamland in no time.
Here are some great essential oils to use in this sleep spray.  Choose one or use a combination of 2 or 3 of your favorites.  –> lavender, wild orange, cedarwood, vetiver, marjoram, frankincense, Roman chamomile, bergamot, patchouli, and sandalwood.  A blend of lavender and cedarwood is my favorite!!  I fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly all night every time I use that combination.  Just a whiff of it, and I start to get sleepy.
How to make a homemade sleep spray with essential oils:
  1. start with an empty (or almost empty) 15ml essential oil bottle
  2. add 2-3 drops of essential oil to the bottle
  3. fill the rest of the 15ml bottle with distilled or cooled boiled water (make sure you leave a little room at the top for the sprayer)
  4. add a pinch of Epsom salt, if you have it (this will help the essential oil to mix a little better with the water)
  5. put on the new spray top
  6. gently shake or roll the bottle to mix the water and essential oils

#7:  DIY Mattress Refresher
I love this mattress refresher.  I use it every time I change my sheets.  Using this refresher and vacuuming help to reduce dust mites, dead skin cells, and germs.  Plus it is a great deodorizer!
How to make a DIY mattress refresher with essential oils:
  • fill empty (or almost empty) essential oil bottle about 3/4s full with baking soda
  • if the bottle had been washed out and is completely empty of essential oil, then add about 4 drops of essential oil.  (if the bottle was empty, but hadn’t been washed out yet and still has the smell of essential oils, then just add about 2 drops of essential oil).  
  • Here are some great antimicrobial/antibacterial/antiviral essential oils to use for cleaning a mattress:  lavender, lemon, wild orange, tea tree, cinnamon, eucalyptus, grapefruit, lime, peppermint, spearmint, tangerine, and rosemary.                                                         
  • Choose just one or a favorite combination of 2-3 oils. Here are a few combinations I love using to clean my mattress:
  • tea tree, lavender, and lemon (very fresh and clean smelling)
  • eucalyptus and spearmint (very relaxing, and relieves stress)
  • tangerine, lime, and spearmint (smells like a citrus mojito)
  • shake to mix
  • put the cap back on
  • let it let sit overnight so the baking soda can absorb the essential oil
To Use:
  1. remove pillows, sheets, and blankets from the bed
  2. pour baking soda/EO mix into a shaker or into a small strainer (if you have a king-sized bed, I would use at least two 15ml bottles of the baking soda/EO mixture)
  3. sprinkle on mattress
  4. leave on for a couple of hours (perfect timing to wash and dry the bedding)
  5. then vacuum off

#9:  Car Diffuser
Do you love diffusing essential oils?  Well, guess what- that doesn’t have to stop when you leave your house!
Here’s how to use an almost empty essential oil bottle to make a diffuser for your car:
  1. stuff a cotton ball into an essential oil bottle
  2. put the cap back on
  3. let it sit for a day or two so that the cotton ball can absorb any leftover essential oil
  4. pull the cotton ball out of essential oil bottle (use tweezers if needed)
  5. use a paperclip to attach the cotton ball to the car’s AC/heat vent
The scent should last for 2-3 days, then you can add another drop or two of essential oil to refresh the car diffuser
 
 
#10:  Always Have EOs Nearby
Always have essential oils right where you need them.  Make up extra partial bottles for office, school, kitchen, bedroom, etc
 
 
#11:  Freshen as Your Vacuum
Using essential oils when you vacuum is a simple way to make your whole house smell fantastic!
Here’s how to use up the last bit of essential oil from an almost empty bottle to make this vacuum refresher:
  1. stuff a cotton ball into an almost empty essential oil bottle
  2. put the cap back on
  3. let it sit for a day or two so that the cotton ball will absorb any leftover essential oil.
  4. pull the cotton ball out of essential oil bottle (use tweezers if needed)
  5. place scented cotton ball on the floor
  6. then vacuum it up
 
 
#12:  Homemade All-Natural “Air Freshener”
There’s a great one to use up those last few drops of essential oil in the bottom of a bottle.  Simply add a spray top like this to your empty (or almost empty) essential oil bottle and turn it into a homemade all-natural “Febreze” fabric refresher.
Here’s how to do it:
  1. start with an empty (or almost empty) 15ml essential oil bottle
  2. choose the linen spray that you want to make– click here for 21 of my favorite DIY essential oil linen spray recipes
  3. add 2-3 drops of essential oil to the bottle
  4. fill the rest of the 15ml bottle with vodka (make sure you leave a little room at the top for the sprayer)
  5. put on the new spray top
  6. gently shake or roll the bottle to mix the vodka and essential oils
  7. shake again each time before use, spray lightly on fabric, and allow the fabric to dry completely
note: you can substitute witch hazel or water for the vodka, but it’s best to use alcohol if you can in this recipe.  Alcohol has a faster evaporation rate than witch hazel and water, and as a result, is less likely to cause mold or mildew in fabric.  If you do need to substitute witch hazel or water, give the fabric extra time to dry, and if possible, use a fan to circulate air over the fabric until it is dry.

#13:  Instant Deodorizer
Everybody has at least one stinky spot in their house, and if you’re like me, you’ve probably got a few less-than-fresh-smelling spots around your home.  Laundry room, closet, bathroom, refrigerator, shoe cubbies, basement… I could go on and on and on.
No worries.  Use an empty essential oil bottle to deodorize and freshen those stinky spots up in no time.
Here are some great deodorizing essential oils to use:  tea tree, lavender, eucalyptus, geranium, peppermint, fir, lemon, wild orange, tangerine, rosemary, lime, citronella, and lemongrass.
I think this one is just about the easiest thing you can do with an empty essential oil bottle before you clean it and upcycle it into one of the other uses in this post.
Here’s how you turn your empty essential oil bottle into an instant deodorizer:
  • take cap and dropper off
  • place bottle in a spot that needs a little deodorizing (laundry room, bathroom, closet, refrigerator, etc)
  • that’s it; you’re done.  Let the bottle stay in there for a few days to do its work.  
  • When the scent is gone, clean and sanitize the bottle and upcycle it for another DIY project on this page.
 
 
#14:  Smelling Salts (“Breathe Better” Blend)
Feeling a little congested?  Here’s a great way to upcycle your empty essential oil bottles to help support clear breathing.
How to make essential oil smelling salts:
  • start with a cleaned and sanitized essential oil bottle
  • fill the bottle with Epsom salt
  • add 4 drops of essential oil (a blend of 1 drop each eucalyptus, peppermint, lemon, and lavender works great, but you can use all peppermint or all eucalyptus if that’s all you have)
  • shake to mix well
  • put the cap back on the bottle in-between uses
To use:
  1. uncap bottle
  2. hold the bottle up close to your nose (but not touching the nose)
  3. inhale deeply
  4. repeat as needed
 
 
#15:  Make-Ahead Master Essential Oil Blends
Do you have a favorite diffuser blend?  An essential oil blend that you go to again and again to use in your diffuser, inhalers, or diffuser jewelry?  It can get a little old, pulling out the same bottles over and over again and counting 1 drop of this, 2 drops of that, another drop of this, etc. Instead, use an empty essential oil bottle to make up a master blend.  Then whenever you want to use that blend, all you need to do is grab one bottle and put a few drops in your diffuser. Super simple. You do the work once, and then you’ll always have your favorite blends ready to go.
Here’s how to do it:  Use an empty (or almost empty) essential oil bottle to make up a batch of your favorite essential oil blend.  Want some ideas of new blends to try?  Check out these recipes for blend ideas and then when you find one you like, you can just multiply the amounts to make as much (or as little) as you want.  
For reference:  a 5ml essential oil bottle holds about 85 drops and a 15ml bottle holds about 250 drops.
 
 
 
#16:  No More Trash Can Stink
Trash Cans can be one of the smelliest places in a home.  But they don’t have to be.  Use this simple essential oil hack to have your trash cans smell fresh and clean in no time.

#18:  Carpet & Rug Deodorizer
How to make a mini carpet & rug deodorizer:
  • fill empty (or almost empty) essential oil about 3/4s full with baking soda
  • if the bottle had been washed out and is completely empty of essential oil, then add 3 drops of essential oil.  (if the bottle was empty, but hadn’t been washed out yet and still has the smell of essential oils, then you don’t need to add any essential oil).  I love to use citrus and floral essential oils for this, but any essential oil aroma that you love works great.
  • shake to mix
  • put the cap back on
  • let it let sit overnight so the baking soda can absorb the essential oil
To Use:
  1. pour baking soda/EO mix into a shaker or into a small strainer (if you want to deodorize an entire room of carpet, you’ll want to use several bottles of this mixture, but one bottle is plenty for a small area and entry rug)
  2. sprinkle on carpet/rug
  3. then vacuum up
  4. the carpet and room will smell amazing!

It’s easy to make your own essential oil perfume.  All it takes is two ingredients and a little time.

  • 4 lavender + 3 lime + 1 Copaiba
  • 3 drops sandalwood + 3 drops grapefruit + 2 drops vanilla extract (not an essential oil)
  • 2 drops spruce + 2 drops juniper berry + 2 drops cedarwood + 2 drops vetiver
note: be careful, and don’t apply citrus oils on any skin that will be exposed to the sun as that can cause phototoxicity resulting in rash, sunburn, and/or blistering.
