Guidelines from Medela for cleaning your breastfeeding equipment at home.
Disassemble all parts prior to cleaning and sterilisation
i.e. Remove valve head from the Breastshield, etc.
Prior to first use / once daily
Disassemble, wash and rinse all parts that come in contact with breastmilk (except motor units).
· Clean the motor unit of Mini Electric, Mini Electric Plus, etc. and the handle of the Harmony with a damp cloth only.
Alternatively, the disassembled parts (except motor units) can be washed in a dishwasher.
After each use
Disassemble and rinse all parts that come in contact with the breastmilk with cold water, wash in warm soapy water, rinse with clear water and allow to air-dry on a clean towel.
Microwave Sterilisation
Parts which come in contact with the expressed breastmilk can be microwave sterilised: Breastshield, Bottle, Valve and Membrane (to microwave, take them apart and fully cover them with water). Please follow the instructions of the manufacturer.
Caution: Do not microwave all other components (e.g. motor unit, handle, piston cylinder etc.) as these parts can melt or be deformed
