Catch Drips on Oil Bottles

If, like me, you are tired of your bottle of canola oil dripping down the sides of the bottle every time you pour out of it, just cut the ribbed cuff off of one of your husband's old stocking and slide it over the bottle. It will catch all the drips and keep your cupboard shelf clean. When it gets soiled, either launder it or replace it.

Thank you, so much. I had that problem and my only idea was I put a vinyl tile under sink cabinet to put oil on. This is so much better, Thank you!

Nice idea ... thanks! I've just made a ribbed "neck" for my laundry detergent, too. Any liquid that slides out from the cap onto the bottle's screw-top can be easily cleaned up & thrown right in the wash.

Tip: Catch Drips on Oil Bottles

You can prevent oil stains on cabinet shelves by wrapping the oil bottle with a band of paper towel, secured with a rubber band. The band of paper towel will prevent drips from running down the sides of the bottle and can be tossed when dirty and replaced.
