Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>Should I Wash The Bottles?

I just recently implemented a “no diaper bag policy”. My question is if I should just go ahead and keep the 2 bottles that typically arrive in the bag instead of handing them back to to the mother to wash. This is a breastfed baby.

I just put them back into the little sack with the ice pack they came with.

I would send them back as is, I don't have a bottle brush, or any reason to have one otherwise.
I'd RINSE, and that's it.

I let parents leave or take bottles. If the bottles are left at my house then I wash them. If they take bottles home then they wash. I will also leave left over milk (formula) in it so they cn see what baby drank.

I have them provide bottles to keep here and supply frozen EBM in bags. I typically store about a months worth at a time for them. I find it easier to manage unexpected situations that way. 
If they bring pre-filled bottles in a cold bag daily, I would expect they intend for them to be rinsed and returned.
This is pretty easy but leaves opportunity for medicated bottles and running short in an emergency late situation.

I require parents leave two bottles here and I handle the washing.
