Cleaning/Sterilizing used Glass Bottles

[Deleted]

Could Milton sterilising fluid be used for bottles and coils etc? Obviously well rinsed out afterwards?

I do glass bottles slightly differently. Clean, rinse, dry. Then in the oven for a bit.

Allow oven to cool before taking glass bottles out.

You use a pressure cooker.
You stand the glass or plastic on a clean woven dishcloth on the base of the pressure cooker to prevent direct heat, you need to place foil over the tops of open containers so condensing liquid doesn't drip into them, lids you place inside foil and also this doesn't go on base of pressure cooker. Don't use any racks inside pressure cooker.

It is what most in home/kitchen labs do.

The improvement on that at home is you can make a flow hood for filling and mixing inside if you wish.

I've got 2 vinegar bottles in the dishwasher atm....

I used some vinegar bottles for storage too. First they were soaked in hot washing up liquid overnight, then they went through the dishwasher, then I boiled them up in a saucepan for 15 minutes. Voila done!!
