I think I make this same post every year, or at least feel the sentiment.
I bottle once a year, at Christmas time, to give my beer to family and friends as gifts. This year my gift list has increased to 6.5 cases and yesterday I washed every stinking bottle for the chore, actually 160 to have a few extra.
I used a bottle brush in each bottle and then thorough rinse. The activity took almost 5 hours and my hands and back were killing me by the time I finished.
It only took an hour or so to remember why I keg!
Bottle people: I COMMEND YOU FOR YOU EFFORTS!
