How do you dry your bottles?

[Q]

I've tried all manner of different ways, the most successful being to stand them upside down in the heating cupboard, but how do you dry YOURS?

I was thinking a 'bristle' mat could be useful, something that will hold them upside down vertically whilst they drain but I cant find anything suitable.

So come on lads & ladies, lets see your suggestions for drying juice bottles once they've had a nice wash

Give 'em a good shake-out and get on with the business of filling them up again! I don't particularly worry about getting them completely dry, as most of what I'm going to put bak is water-based, so a few small drops isn't going to make that much difference

I just stick them upside down at a slight angle so air can get inside on a tea towel on the windowsill in the kitchen.

Same as chykensa

The glass ones, in the washing machine... First round with a dishes tablet, then a second one just with water, then a third one just with water again and the last cycle to dry them...

Of course, no other dishes in the washing machine and you just fill the whole machine with bottles... Otherwise you probably spend the night on the door's mat...

Swill them under the tap, give them a quick shake then refill them, I can't be bothered to be too fussy. Dave

[Q]

Well thank you for all your answers, stupid me was thinking I'd have to dry them completely before re-using them (as I have always done), why do I have to make life harder for myself?

I put mine on top of my cable modem it's warm and it drys them out in a few hours

QUick bleush with some Fairy, quick rinse then on the windowsil, they dry well, it's the blinkin screw tops that get me every time so they now go in the airing cupboard for a few days but I'm another that doesn't worry myself over a spot of water left in them.

Upside down on a bit of kitchen roll till there about dry

We had one of those fresh air diffusers, the bottle you put about a dozen wooden sticks in that had evaporated and lost it's smell so I use that.

[Q]

A question for all you 'upside down' people.... how do you KEEP them upside down? mine keep falling over which is qhy I was searching for a 'bristle mat' type thing

[Perpetua]

I ' perch ' mine Q at a slight angle on some kitchen towel . . . . either on a windowsill or against the tiles on a corner of the kitchen work top.

[buggritt]

Easiest way is don't wash em. I never do.

Mine just stand up (and, before any of you start, I do just mean my bottles...)
