The good news? You've just decorated 5 dozen cookies.
The bad news? Your husband is on a business trip and YOU are the only one left to clean the squeeze bottles.
Truth be told, I'd much rather clean out squeeze bottles
{If you want more information on using squeeze bottles for flooding cookies, please visit this post.}
First, pour out the majority of the icing.
Then, fill with hot, soapy water. Let it soak a few minutes.
Next, shake and squirt out the water; refilling with clean water.
Continue shaking and squirting out the water until it runs clear and is no longer soapy. It's fun; I promise!
Now, turn upside down and let dry on a drying rack.
After a few hours, if the water hasn't all drained out, do the chopstick trick.
Here's the chopstick trick:
- twist a piece of paper towel around a chopstick,
- use the paper toweled-chopstick to dry up any lingering water drops.
{And isn't this the prettiest picture of a squeeze bottle & a chopstick you've ever seen? I know you've seen a lot.}
Voila! Clean as a whistle...and ready for your next batch of cookie decorating.
Next up, how to clean a toilet.
{I kid.}
