cleaning up
WELL ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE SPOKE ,BUT I WILL NOT PUT DOWN IT PRINT ANYTHING I HAVEN'T DONE UNTIL ITS DONE,SO OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS THE TEMP. HAS DROP IN THE BASEMENT ,SO NOT MUCH IN THE RELEAM OF WINE MAKING GETS STARTED, JUST THE BASIC MAINTENANCE AND SOME BOTTLING,THAT BEING SAID i HAVE BEEN DE- LABELLINGS BOTTLES AND SANITIZING![Happy :h :h](/images/smilies/happy0199.gif)
.
HOW DO YOU DO IT? HERE'S HOW I DO MINE.![Hug :hug :hug](/images/smilies/hug.gif)
FIRST AND FOREMOST I DON'T MAKE IT A CHORE,SO THE FIRST ITEM OF BUSINESS IS TO LIST OR WATCH?DO I PUT ON THE CD'S OR TV,CHOICE MADE .NEXT IN MY 15 GALLON RUBBERMAID CONTAINER I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE BOTTLES SITTING IN A SOLUTION OF 11TEASPOONS OF ONE STEP ANS 1/2 CUP OF BLEACH,STEP ONE.
STEP ONE POWER WASH THE INTERIOR OF THE BOTTLE AND TAKE OFF THE ENCLOSURE CAPSULE IF ANY,THEN PARTIALLY FILL THE BOTTLES WITH WATER,3/4,PLACE THEM IN THE CONTAINER AND THEN FILL THE CONTAINER WITH HOT WATER,THIS WAY THE ONE STEP AND BLEACH SOLUTION HAVE A CHANCE TO HELP CLEAN AND DISINFECT THE INTERIOR ON THE BOTTLE.
STEP TWO,AFTER TWO WEEKS I THEN RETURN TO THE EVENT AND REMOVE THE LABELS WITH A PLASTIC SCRAPER AND A SCOTCH BRITE PAD,POWER SHOOT THE INSIDE WITH HOT WATER ,THE POWER SPRAY THE INSIDE WITH KMET FROM MY GLASS CLEANING TREE,AND LET IT SET AND DRY ,BUT IF IM IN A HURRY I THE JUST PLACE THEM INTO THE DISHWASHER FOR A SHORT 140 DEGREE WASH CYCLE ,ALLOW THEM TO COMPLETE THE FULL CYCLE AND WHEN IM READY AND THE NEXT DAY I REMOVE THEM FOR SORTING.
IT SEAMS LIKE A LOT OF WORK BUT IT'S REALL NOT WHEN YOU ARE SET-UP AND CAN FLY WITH IT....![Money :mny :mny](/images/smilies/money.gif)
