After eradicating the duvet, maintain the plastic high in place when you twist the container forwards and backwards as you’d when grinding pepper. The forwards and backwards motion helps to launch them. Nevertheless, this can solely work should you haven’t eliminated these pesky plastic caps as I’ve. 🤣
