I agree with flummery- lifes too short to iron sheets and just think how ecological we are not wasting water on rinsing trays!

I know its a pain of a job, but being the third generation gardener, its just something you do!!
For many years I resisted having a dishwasher in the kitchen on the basis that I could do a better job than any machine. WRONG!! Having resisted for many years, I now accept that the 'machine' does a much better job than me.
My point is that I would like some entrepreneur out there to make a dishwasher for plantpots/trays. They could make a fortune!! As sewerrat says the number of pots/trays is astronomical in a business, and all they go to is landfill.
The reason we wash our pots is purely to re-use them. It may be somewhat simplistic, but Its something we have always done.

Hazel beat me to it HW. Yes those machines are available, but they are manual, insofar as you have to wash EVERY pot by hand. What I would like to see is the equivalent of the dishwasher I have in the kitchen. Put the pots in, set the programme, and in a set time take the pots out washed, clean and sterile.

So, what would be a good business venture if someone's reading this is to have a "pot hire" service where during the growing season the pots are "rented out" for a small fee to the grower. Then when they are finished with they are sent back to the owner who will have a large commercial steam cleaner (or similar), who cleans the pots during the winter months ready for the following spring....A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/
