You can use the bottles from both methods with the water droplets on. I sterilise my draining board and air dry my bottles as I personally don’t like them dripping wet from the Milton.
I use the milton sterilisers and just shake them off and put back together afterwards. Drying them with cloths etc will just make them not sterile anymore
No in just shake off and use. I don’t have many that Im able to leave out and let dry- I grab shake and use, and when finished wash quickly and dunk into solution. The fewer bottles i have the more they are all accounted for, they’ll go missing and misplaced easily when you have too many.
Air dry on bottle rack
I use a steamer and you don’t have to dry after. But I do have a bottle drying rack that I brought off Amazon… highly recommend! I put them straight onto this after sterilising them. Also good just to store all the sterilised bottles 🥰
