A bottle sterilization method that sequentially performs: a step in which disinfectant is caused to adhere to a resin preform (1) and microbes attached to the preform are sterilized, by gasifying the disinfectant and spraying this gas (G) from a nozzle (6) towards the traveling preform; a step in which hot air (P) is blown on to the preform, the disinfectant adhered to the preform is activated, the microbes attached to the preform are sterilized, and the disinfectant adhered to the preform is removed from the preform; a step in which the preform is heated to a blow molding temperature; and a step in which the preform is blow-molded into a bottle (2) inside a blow molding die. As a result, disinfectant is not brought inside a blow molding machine. |
