Milk jugs yes but …
Milk jugs yes but it is far easier to insure the cleanliness of a 2liter bottle(2LB) that you just emptied. If you don’t drink enouough soda? Collect bottles where you can and follow the steps he mentioned. I have a chest freezer I clean 2LB and store them in there if we buy a lot of food to store we simply place the F2LB elsewhere. Why ice4chest and hurricanes zap power food is still good a week out of power b/c we store 2LB of water/ice in the freezer 7 days later still frozen.
