Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need to rinse the bottles after taking them out of the Milton solution?
No, you do not need to rinse. Rinsing can actually introduce new bacteria to the sterile items. Simply wash your hands, lift the equipment out of the unit, shake off any excess solution, and prepare your feed immediately.
How long does the mixed solution last?
The Milton cold-water solution remains highly effective for 24 hours. You can continue to add and remove items throughout the day. After 24 hours, the solution must be poured away and a new batch prepared.
Can I use the tablets if I want to mix less than 5 litres of water?
Yes! The Milton Sterilising Tablets are cleverly designed to be divisible by four. If you are using a smaller container or traveling, you can break the tablet to scale down your solution accurately.
Is the Baby Bottle Cleaner safe for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. The cleaner is formulated from 100% plant-based ingredients, is completely fragrance-free, and has been dermatologically tested to be incredibly kind to sensitive skin and hands.
Can I sterilise metal objects in this unit?
No, do not use the Milton solution on metal items, as the active ingredients can cause discolouration or corrosion over time. It is intended strictly for plastic, silicone, glass, and rubber baby accessories.
