As any parent will no doubt confirm, one of the things that comes with having children is the need to spend a lot more of your time cleaning. Kids make a lot of mess, and I've found myself spending a bunch more time washing clothes, cleaning floors and sterilizing baby bottles.
You would not believe how much time and effort goes into cleaning those bottles. Like kids themselves, it's shocking to see just how dirty they actually get — and I'm not just talking about the leftover formula they contain. After 9 months of deep cleaning milk bottles, inside and out, I finally caved and got hold of an appliance to do the job for me.
