Cleaning Plastic Bottles?

[nickmcmechan]

I have some of the Coopers Plastic Bottles for my brews.

I was wondering if they are Ok to put through the dishwasher....something tells me the impermeable CO2 layer doesn't like the high temps? Wondered if it was OK to use the use the dishwasher at 50C?

i use plastic bottles. i just rinse them out with warm water, no soap, scrub off any stubborn stuff and sterilise with vwp and rinse in cold water. Never had a problem with that.
hope this helps :thumb:

This is pretty much what I do.

Just make sure you rinse out the yeast before it crusts onto the bottom of the bottle!
