5. Cleaning
Supplies needed:
• Mild washing-up liquid
• Clean soft brush
• Clean wash basin
• Drinking-quality water
• Clean pot for boiling water
Parts to wash or sanitise:
• Breast shields
• Breast milk bottles
• Lids
• Connectors
• Membranes
CAUTION
Separate and wash all parts that are exposed to breast milk immediately after use. This will
help to remove breast milk residue and prevent growth of bacteria.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
• Only use drinking-quality tap water or bottled water for cleaning.
• Do not place pump parts directly in the sink to rinse or wash. Use a clean wash basin used
only for infant feeding items.
• Do not use a dish towel to rub or pat items dry.
• Do not use disinfectants for cleaning.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the tubing.
• Do not clean the tubing as described here or with Quick Clean bags in the microwave.
Follow the instructions in
section 5.6
NOTICE
Pay attention to the following:
• Take care not to damage parts of the breast pump set during cleaning.
• Store the dried breast pump set in a clean bag/container until next use.
• Do not store wet or damp parts as mould may develop.
• If you notice a white residue on your breast pump parts after boiling, your water may have a
high mineral content. Remove residue by wiping parts with a clean towel and allow to air
dry.
• Distilled water is recommended when boiling parts to prevent substantial mineral build-up
over time, which may compromise your parts.
