[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 497136, member: 5006"]Alcohol will dissolve dried perfume remnants, that's a good start. Then, as there stoppers and inside neck of the bottle were "emerized" they easily remain stuck if at some point they were slightly forced by turning the stopper too much. I had very good results on tiny smelling salt bottles by this method: After full cleaning of the junction with alcohol, spray some silicon or wd-40, let sit the bottom of the bottle in warm tap water, and apply an ice cube on top of the stopper. Bottle and neck will dilate while the stopper will contract, letting the silicon infiltrate and lubricate the junction. Slight twist will then allow to remove the stopper. Job done in minutes :) Warning!:nailbiting: Don't use too warm water and keep the level half of the bottle, warmth will transmit to the neck without creating a fracture line at the place you'll exerce contraction with the ice cube:D BE GENTLE IN TWISTING THE STOPPER ;)(slight unscrew/screw movement!)[/QUOTE]
