Please rinse your bottles!
As much as I want to shout my thanks to you all for returning your bottles, I am more and more being met with dirty bottles that are incredibly hard to clean. (but also, thank you!)
Myself and mainly Sula spend at least a full shift per week washing and sterilising these bottles to ensure they are ready for refilling. The seconds that it takes for you to rinse out the bottle with water - no need to fully wash - saves us SO much time.
It may seem like just a wee bit of kombucha sitting at the bottom of the bottle, but sometimes the bottles don't come back to us for one month - or more! After which point, that wee bit of boochie turns into a very solid, dark mass which can be so impossible to clean in some cases that the bottle ends up in the bin anway.
So please, please! Do us a solid and give your bottle a quick little rinse oot before you return it to us.
Alsoo, I cannot re-use the lids! So there is no need to return them.
Thank you!
