{"product_id":"milton-sterilising-unit","title":"Milton Sterilising Unit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Milton Sterilising Unit is a cold-water sterilising container designed to hold baby bottles, teats, breast pump parts, soothers, feeding utensils and other compatible baby accessories while they are immersed in a prepared sterilising solution. If you'd rather not boil equipment or plug in an electric steam unit, this is a straightforward way to keep feeding gear covered and protected as part of your daily cleaning routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed together with an appropriate Milton Sterilising Liquid or Milton Sterilising Tablets, the unit lets feeding equipment be fully submerged without boiling or electricity. Its 4-litre capacity gives you room to do several items at once, and the fitted lid helps keep the solution and equipment protected during use. It's compact enough to store easily and to take along when you're travelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne thing worth being clear about: the unit itself doesn't generate steam or heat, and it won't dry your equipment. The sterilising is done by the Milton solution — you prepare and use Milton Sterilising Liquid or Tablets according to the directions on that product's own label, and the unit is simply the container that holds it all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCleaning always comes first — the solution works on equipment that has already been washed, not on milk residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean the items:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wash bottles, teats, breast pump parts and other equipment thoroughly in warm, soapy water.
