It is undeniable that washing and fully sterilizing glass bottles are of paramount importance to ensure the safety of the liquid products they contain. However, accomplishing this task effectively and ecologically can be complex when bottles are washed by hand. Studies confirm that manual washing does not achieve the same level of efficiency as the use of specialized machines.
Firstly, conventional dishwashers use water at high temperatures, well beyond what human hands can tolerate. This intense heat is essential for effectively eliminating bacteria present on the bottles. Secondly, hand washing requires the use of cloths and sponges that must be washed and disinfected regularly to prevent the spread of dirt from one wash to another. This manual cleaning process is not only tedious but also less ecological, as it consumes more water and energy. Indeed, the use of a dishwasher allows for 2.5 times less energy and 3.5 times less water consumption than hand washing, according to the Eurotab website.
Therefore, it is crucial to invest in professional equipment capable of eliminating all bacteria present on the bottles while offering a more ecological solution than manual washing.
