I am thinking of using my old dog food container to hold mixed water but I am not sure how to make sure all the organic compounds and oils are out. is it even worth the effort? I was thinking of maybe ising bleach and then let it sit in the sun after a few rinses but I relly have no idea how to go about cleaning it. any thoughts? if I am crazy just say so.
 
I don't think you will have any problems. It was meant to hold food, so I would assume it's safe. I would just give it a good washing with some soap and water and rinse it real good.
 
yea, if anything you might wash it out with a light vinegar mixture, just to help suck any last bits of the oil and whatnot off the plastic.

also, look on the bottom of the container, find the recycle symbol, and make sure that it has either a 1,2 or 5 inside the 3 arrows, from what i've read, thoes are the 3 kinds of plastic that will not leach other chemicals into the water...
