Keeping milk residue from building up is crucial to ensure the cleanliness and durability of infant feeding tools


Residual milk, no matter how minimal, risks fostering harmful microbes when cleaning is neglected


endangering babies’ health and leading to persistent bad smells or discoloration


To prevent buildup, begin by rinsing every component right after feeding

Choose a mild, fragrance-free dish soap that is safe for baby products, as harsh chemicals can leave residues or damage silicone parts


Letting pieces soak in lukewarm soapy water for 10–15 minutes helps dissolve hardened deposits prior to scrubbing

Once scrubbed, rinse each item extensively under clean running water to eliminate any detergent residue


Opt for air-drying on a dedicated rack instead of cloth towels to avoid contamination from lint or microbial transfer


If you use a dishwasher, ensure all parts are dishwasher safe and place them on the top rack to avoid high heat warping


Regular deep cleaning with a vinegar and water solution once a week can help eliminate lingering odors and mineral deposits


Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, soak items for 30 minutes, then rinse well
