Bottle washer for cleaning parrot feeding syringes and water bottles?

[oliviagarcia]

I keep a small flock here in Madison, and hand-feeding supplies plus daily water bottles have become a real chore. I saw an appliance called the Grownsy EaseClean Bottle Washer Pro online — it's marketed for baby bottles, but the idea of a dedicated washer for narrow-necked things caught my attention. What I'd want to use it for is soaking and rinsing used feeding syringes, syringe tips, and the parrots' water bottles between deep cleans. My concern is that it's built around baby-bottle shapes, so I'm not sure the syringe barrels or smaller bottle openings would sit properly in the rack, or whether the jets would actually reach the inside of a curved syringe. I also worry about residue from any detergent it uses, since anything going near the birds needs to be thoroughly rinsed. Has anyone here tried a bottle washer for hand-feeding equipment or bird water bottles? I'd like to hear whether it actually saved time or just added another step.

Update after reading through Grownsy EaseClean Bottle Washer Pro Review https://ratethepick.com/product/grow...her-pro-review - the narrow-neck fit still seems to be the deciding question for syringe barrels. I'm not convinced it would rinse curved syringes well enough for me to trust it around the birds.

Hello oliviagarcia... it seems that you and member johngarcia tend to engage and post about similar concerns simultaneously. Member johnngarcia recently started a thread under the Miscellaneous Accessories forum, titled: Can a bottle washer handle parrot water bottles and food bowls safely?

Since you and johngarcia both purport to have concerns about bottle washers for use with parrot water bottles and have posted as such, and since each of you has as well included a link to a page on the same, related domain... please tell me: Do you and johngarcia carry the middle initials of "AI" by chance?
