A bottle cleansing apparatus having bottle cradles hingedly mounted to a first conveyor for movement of said cradles along a path and part rotation of said cradles about an axis longitudinal of said path, said cradles having a floor portion for supporting bottles presented laterally thereto in generally upstanding disposition and a roof portion with an aperture therein for supporting bottles in inverted disposition when said cradles are part-rotated, said roof portion being peaked to direct the downwardly directed mouths of the bottles into register with said apertures. Nozzles are carried on a second conveyor so as to be in register with a respective cradle aperture over a predetermined distance for injection of fluid into the bottles through their downwardly directed mouths. A rotary valve may be used for directing fluid to each nozzle only when said nozzle is in register with a bottle mouth. Means are provided for loading bottles in said cradles in generally upstanding disposition, for part rotating said cradles to invert the bottles, for part rotating said cradles to revert the bottles after indection of fluid, and for unloading bottles from said cradles in generally upstanding disposition.
