They’re dishwasher safe! (At least so far) I throw the caps in the utensil basket.
You could move the Brita to the counter top to recover some fridge space if you wanted since you’re chilling the bottles. Good re-use of those bottles though!
I love Grolsch swing top bottles. I use them for everything. Water, homemade sauces, “use” bottles (I buy stuff like vinegar, oils, etc. in bulk and top up grolsch bottles for actual use), etc.
How do you clean them? I once bought a dozen blue bottles of the Grolsch swing top style. I had to get rid of them eventually because there is no bottle brush that will get down in there. They were cool until then though.
I usually just soak them in Oxiclean Free in a bucket overnight once 4-6 are dirty (or PBW cleaner when I had it around when I would homebrew). You can also just put the Oxiclean in the bottles and let them sit overnight.
I also have a narrow bottle brush that I’ll use that fits in there, but honestly the oxiclean basically cleans everything, even crusted junk, with an overnight soak. Then I just rinse them thoroughly.
I’ve also added coarse salt and rubbing alcohol and shaken the shit out of them then put them in the dishwasher for a box of like 30 of them that I bought at a garage sale for $1 (I don’t think the dude ever even rinsed them after drinking the beer), but that’s before I discovered how well oxiclean soak works.
If they’re not particularly crusty, I’ll just add a little dish soap and hot water and shake. Cleans them fine for me for me for the ones that get used more quickly/regularly.
Is the water supposed to look soapy?
It does kinda create the illusion of soapy bubble filled white water. If you change thinking about the ‘white water’ section to actually be the see through part in between clear round water droplets (the ‘bubbles’) that are clinging to the side of the container.
It’s most likely someone recently poured some water out of it from the spout at the bottom and what water is left on the sides from the former water line slowly makes its way down to the new water level.
Why would you keep both (that many) water bottles and the refill tap in the fridge? Surely either one wold suffice. You can always refill.
@seSvxR3ull7LHaEZFIjM @Apytele my wife seems to abhor water from the filter / tap and insists on bottled. I at least got her to switch from single use bottles to refillable jugs.
I installed an under-sink inline filter. it’s nice, cost like $60
Sometimes it’s just nice to have a lid and carry it around with you. Keep it up.
Nice! I might have to copy you, do you remove the labels and then just hope the dishwasher gets the sticky off?
