Is it safe & hygienic to re_use cork bottle stoppers?

I have a couple of posh glass bottle that contained sloe gin and raspberry vodka which were sealed with cork and wooden stoppers

Will the stoppers be ok to reuse if I wash them in hot soapy water and rinse? I would like to reuse the bottles to keep home made cordial

Thanks in advance :)

    I've never even thought about it... I always reuse corks! And if they've had gin & vodka in them, I can't see that anything will have had a chance to grow in them.
