i rinse it under cold water
Agreed.
Sometimes I rinse them under luke warm water and give them a couple of good shakes.
My tanks I rinse and then into the ultrasonic cleaner for 2 cycles and then leave on the drying rack.
yup me too
I have cleaned out empty (DIY) juice bottle before but it is such a pain. They are cheap enough, especially if you buy a few every time you go past Westpak
I usually just fill the kitchen sink with hot water and let the bottles, etc. sit in there for a while before I rinse them out.
If you want to sterilize, those baby bottle sterilizers for the microwave should be awesome. Just check that whatever you put in there is microwave safe so that it doesn't melt on you.

I leave my bottles in hot water to which I add sea salt. I let them soak for an hour or so, then rinse them in cold water several times before air-drying. I don't use syringes and pipettes, they are unnecessary as I mix by weight.
For atties I only do a pit-stop every couple of months. Half-hour soak in Milton, several rinses, air-dry on the windowsill.

Soak in hot water. Rinse. Soak in steritab solution. Rinse again. Air dry. Use.
My main bugbear is getting the labels off without leaving a sticky residue or discolouring the clear plastic bottles I use.
Also I try not to buy new plastic bottles too often @GregF beacuse the environment and stuff.

I use masking tape as labels on my HDPE bottles, heh. Looks k@k but at least it comes off easily.

To get that sticky residue off easily, use zippo fluid. Back when I was a smoker, took the sticky off my cd cases after removing the price tag.

Really?!?! Doesn't it discolour the plastic?

Nope, it's very mild.
Give it a test first, but back then, had no issues.

I used to use Doom to remove labels.
Disclaimer: don't use Doom to remove labels.
I hate bottle-washing day. But I do almost the same. First a rinse with cold water, then a soak in (very) hot soap water for an hour. Rinse with same soap water, then rinse with cold several times. Air dry till the next day.
If it's a bottle that contained watermelon, it goes to the trash. That smell is impossible to get out.
You can also use furniture polish like Mr Min to remove labels. Gentle and decent smell

You guys spend a lot of time cleaning
Lol, you sound like a certain pastor!
If it's the lemon one, it's also a good sub for FW Fruity Flakes.
Ummmm....don't think so. You going to test, for science of course

What do you mean test, it's my ADV.
Disclaimer: Do not put Mr Min in your juice. Come to think of it, don't put FW Fruity Flakes in your juice either. Furniture polish has no place in juice.
