What to do with empty contact solution bottle?

I have never had luck removing the cap from a saline solution bottle and therefore I have never reused one but rather I recycle them instead.

I know that those tops come off hard, but at least they do come off. I rinse mine out, then use them for cleaning supplies. I usually buy big bottles of cleaning stuff, but then I refill them in empty contact solution bottles to make them easier to handle. I also buy the big gallon vinegar bottles or distilled water, again, I refill them in those solution bottles for uses with smaller amounts. And I am sure there are a lot more uses for them....

I would keep a few on hand to use in crafting. They are great since they help stablize you hand when applying things like dye or other liquids (these aren't food grade).
