Washing machines not just for clothes

Amber Hills Ranch in Rupert, Idaho, uses washing machines to clean and sanitize calf-bottle nipples. They add a commercial detergent with chlorine to the hot water in the washer, says Bart Hanson. “Then it spins all the water out,” he explains. The nipples air-dry in buckets with holes in them to further expedite drying. The calf ranch has four washers on hand.
