FAQs
How often should I change the Milton sterilising solution?
The sterilising solution should be prepared fresh every 24 hours to maintain its effectiveness.
Do I need to rinse items after sterilizing with Milton fluid?
While not strictly necessary for most items, rinsing with clean, potable water is recommended, especially for items that will be directly placed in the baby's mouth, to remove any potential lingering taste.
Can I use Milton sterilising fluid for more than just baby bottles?
Yes, Milton Sterilising Fluid is versatile and can be used for sterilizing breast pumps, teats, pacifiers, baby toys (that can be immersed), and other household items needing disinfection.
What is the shelf life of unopened Milton Sterilising Fluid?
Unopened Milton Sterilising Fluid typically has a long shelf life, usually several years. Please check the expiry date printed on the packaging for the specific product.
Is Milton fluid safe for sensitive skin?
The diluted solution is generally safe for sterilizing baby items. However, undiluted fluid can be irritating to the skin. Always follow dilution instructions and avoid prolonged contact with undiluted fluid.
Can I use Milton fluid with hot water?
No, Milton Sterilising Fluid should always be diluted with cold water. Using hot water can reduce its effectiveness.
What should I do if my baby swallows a small amount of the diluted solution?
If a small amount of diluted solution is accidentally swallowed, it is generally considered safe due to its mild nature. However, if you have concerns or if a large amount is ingested, contact a medical professional.
Troubleshooting
Sterilising solution appears cloudy
Ensure you are using cold water for dilution. Hot water can affect the solution's efficacy. Also, verify the correct dilution ratio is being used.
White residue on items after sterilizing
This can occur if the water is very hard or if the items are not thoroughly rinsed after sterilization. Rinse items thoroughly with clean, potable water before use.
Fluid has a strong chemical smell
Ensure the fluid is properly diluted. A strong smell usually indicates the solution is too concentrated. Always follow the dilution guidelines on the packaging.
Items do not feel completely sterile
Confirm that items were fully submerged in the solution for the minimum required 15 minutes and that the solution was prepared fresh within the last 24 hours. Ensure all milk residue or food particles were removed before sterilizing.
