Milton Sterilising Tablets offer a practical and highly effective solution for maintaining the hygiene of your baby's items. The core of its performance lies in its cold water sterilisation method, which safely kills 99.9% of germs without the need for heat, making it suitable for delicate plastics and silicone often found in baby bottles, soothers, and breast pump parts. This method also means no energy consumption, making it an eco-friendly choice.
To effectively use the tablets, simply follow the clear instructions: first, thoroughly wash all items with warm soapy water and rinse them well. This cleaning step is crucial, as the tablets sterilize (kill germs) but do not clean physical dirt. Next, drop one tablet into 5 litres of clean, cold water in a suitable container. Once dissolved, submerge all items, ensuring they are completely covered by the solution and that no air bubbles are trapped inside bottles or teats. Items will be sterilised and ready to use in just 15 minutes.
Daily Feeding Essentials: Sterilise baby bottles, teats, bottle caps, and breast pump components daily.
Soothers & Teething Rings: Keep pacifiers and teething toys hygienic for your baby's mouth.
Small Toys & Cutlery: Safely sterilise small plastic toys that babies put in their mouths, as well as plastic weaning cutlery.
Travel & On-the-Go: The tablets are perfect for holidays, camping trips, or overnight stays, providing a convenient sterilisation method where traditional sterilizers are not feasible or available.
The solution remains effective for 24 hours, meaning you can add and remove items as needed throughout the day without preparing a new batch. The 'no-rinse' benefit is a significant time-saver, allowing items to be taken directly from the solution and used immediately, providing unparalleled convenience for busy parents.
Using Milton Sterilising Tablets is straightforward, ensuring a hygienic environment for your baby's items:
Prepare Items: Wash all items that need sterilising thoroughly in clean, warm soapy water (or using a dedicated baby bottle cleaner). Rinse them well under running water to remove any soap residue or physical dirt.
Prepare Solution: In a clean, non-metallic container, measure out 5 litres of clean, cold tap water.
Dissolve Tablet: Drop 1 Milton Sterilising Tablet into the 5 litres of cold water. Allow the tablet to fully dissolve to form the sterilising solution. This may take a few minutes.
Submerge Items: Carefully place all washed and rinsed baby items into the Milton Sterilising Solution. Ensure that they are completely submerged and that there are no trapped air bubbles, especially in bottles or teats. Use a lid or weighted object to keep items submerged if necessary.
Wait: Allow items to soak for a minimum of 15 minutes for effective sterilisation. Items can remain in the solution for up to 24 hours.
Ready to Use: When needed, remove items from the solution. There is no need to rinse them before use; they can go directly into your baby's mouth.

Storage of Tablets: Store unused tablets in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
Container Cleanliness: Ensure the container used for the solution is clean before each new batch is prepared.
