What’s this? Found under a bathroom vanity during remodeling—small glass tubes, 2 inches long, filled with liquid. Any ideas?

  • Fragrance or Essential Oil Samples
    Tiny glass vials often hold perfume samples or essential oils. It’s possible that someone hid these under the vanity for safekeeping or simply left them there over time.
  • Home Remedies or Herbal Extracts
    In some households, small glass tubes might have contained homemade tinctures, herbal remedies, or other liquids used for personal care.
  • Construction or Plumbing-Related Items
    Less common, but some specialized plumbing or construction materials come in small liquid-filled tubes (e.g., adhesives, sealants). Though unusual to find under a vanity, it’s not impossible.

  • Safety First: Handling Unknown Liquids

    When you find unidentified glass tubes filled with liquid, it’s best to:

    • Avoid opening or tasting the contents.
    • Handle with care to prevent breakage or spills.
    • Consider wearing gloves if you need to move them.
    • Dispose of them safely if you decide not to keep them.

    If you’re concerned about the nature of the liquid, a local hazardous waste facility or professional can help identify and dispose of them safely.
