Antifreeze in water lines
#6
You should be able to get all the antifreeze out of the cold water system easily.  If you had antifreeze in your hot water heater (always drain and bypass your hot water heater next time) it's a little tougher.  The heater needs to be drained independently.  After fully draining the system, fill it half way and repeat.  If it still smells, as it probably will, drain again by-pass heater and add some bleach (I'd add at least a quart) and 3-5 gallons of water.  Get this bleach water into all of your lines (this will disinfect them) and leave overnight.  Then drain, rinse and repeat until the bleach smell is gone.  A tiny residual bleach smell is ok.  Your water system should now be perfect.  Don't forget to hook your heater back up while rinsing and repeating. 
(Be careful when the bleach is in the lines the faucets may spit and you can ruin your clothes)
