The Bottle Rinser and Tree look great time savers but do you need to rinse bottles with clean water after sanitising with VWP? I've never seen VWP described as a rinse free steriliser.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi John, there are no-rinse cleaners available, but they are not as thorough as VWP, and VWP MUST always be rinsed with clean water. What people often do is use a VWP sterilising solution with the rinser, then empty that out, and put clean water in the rinser, and use it to quickly and economically rinse the bottles with clean water. This uses a lot less water, is less messy, and quick. If using a bottle drainer tree they can then just be hung on it to dry;
