5. Cleaning Instructions

Supplies needed:
• Mild dish soap or Medela Quick
Clean Breast Milk Removal Soap

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.
• Only use drinking-quality tap or bottled
water for cleaning.
• When cleaning the valves do not use small
objects such as brushes. Be careful not to
puncture. Do not store wet or damp parts.
Note
• Take care not to damage parts of the
breast pump kit during cleaning.
• Store the breast pump kit in a clean bag/
container until next use.
• Wash hands thoroughly.
• 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 cloth 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.
