The purpose of the present invention is to shorten the time between production runs when switching between types of beverages for bottling. Provided is a method for cleaning a beverage bottling apparatus equipped with a beverage supply line for delivering a beverage to a bottling machine (2), and a sterile chamber (3) enclosing at least the bottling machine, wherein the method has at least two programs selected from among: a first program adapted to untreated carbonated beverages, for executing COP on the sterile chamber interior, and CIP on the beverage supply line interior; a second program adapted to high-acidity beverages, for executing COP and SOP on the sterile chamber interior, and CIP and SIP on the beverage supply line interior; and a third program adapted to low-acidity beverages, for executing COP and SOP on the sterile chamber interior, and CIP and SIP on the beverage supply line interior; and has a function for selectively executing any one thereof. By selecting the first program when the beverage is an untreated carbonated beverage, selecting the second program when the beverage is a high-acidity beverage, and selecting the third program when the beverage is a low-acidity beverage, corresponding cleaning processes are performed on the beverage supply line interior and the sterile chamber interior, prior to initiating bottling of the corresponding beverage. |
