How do you get vick's out of a bucket?

Question

I have used Vick's vapor rub several times in a bucket with water and inhaled when I have had a cold. now my bucket is infected with slimy Vick's. How do I clean the Vick's out of the bucket?

Answer 1

Apply a layer of baking soda and then wash with dish washing liquid.

Answer 2

You no longer need to do this. They now make a Vicks (or someone) tablet that you put on the shower floor while you are taking one and you breathe it in that way.  I am sure you could just use those from now on and not mess up any more buckets.  As far as cleaning this bucket, however, I would just use hot water and soap and scrub it out .

Answer 3

What about boiling water?
