Cleaning, Sterilising and Bottling?

[Shanna]

For me the top tip is don't use bottles that have been stored outside as dirt & mildew builds up on the inside of bottles and it is incredibly difficult to shift. I have had bottles I got that were stored outside that still have dirt inside them despite being soaked in oxy, being put through the dish washer and even resisted the use of a bottle brush.

I wait til they're dry, then press used crown-caps onto them to keep all the nasties out.
Seems to work well. Only the outside gets dirty.
