A bottle washer removing bottles from a conveyor, rotating them about 360 degrees, and using paddles of extended length and a stationary guide to replace the bottles on the conveyor. The conveyor moves the bottles between paddles which will rotate them through a circle of 360 degrees. At the very end of that arc, an obstructing guide rail directs the bottles out of the rotational plane to avoid their colliding with the entering bottles. The bottle washer, to work at greater length upon the bottles may in fact move the bottles about two circles of approximately 360 degrees each. As the bottles complete the first rotation, an obstructing guide moves them out of the plain of the first rotation and into the plane of the plain of the second rotation. During the bottles' rotation the usual rotational valves and nozzles permit the desired operations of washing and cleaning.
