I will try both baking soda and clorox. I have washed them in hot water
and left them open to air for weeks. It didnt work at all.

Yes, these women are senior citizens and are quite nice people. Bob,
you wonder why they are broke. Its the cost of prescription drugs that
takes a large chunk of their income also the ones I want to help are
widows living on half the income they had when their husbands were
alive. I am fortunate, my husband is alive and we have good prescription
coverage.

Using their empty prescription containers is a great idea. Thanks again
to all. Anne
