5. Cleaning

Supplies needed:
• Mild washing-up liquid
• Clean soft brush
• Clean wash basin
• Drinking-quality water
• Clean pot for boiling water
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.

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.
Parts to wash or sanitise:
• Breast shields
• Breast milk bottles
• Lids
• Connectors
