FAQs
How long does the Milton sterilising solution remain effective?
The prepared Milton sterilising solution is effective for 24 hours. After this period, it should be discarded and a fresh batch made.
Do I need to rinse items after sterilising them in Milton solution?
No, there is no need to rinse items after they have been sterilised in Milton solution. They can go directly into your baby's mouth.
What kind of items can I sterilise with Milton tablets?
You can sterilise a wide range of baby items including breast pump parts, baby bottles, teats, soothers, teething rings, small plastic toys, plastic cutlery, and weaning items.
How much water should I use with one Milton sterilising tablet?
You should use 5 litres of clean, cold water per Milton sterilising tablet for optimal effectiveness.
Is it necessary to wash items before using the sterilising solution?
Yes, it is absolutely essential to wash all items thoroughly with warm soapy water and rinse them well before placing them in the Milton sterilising solution. The solution sterilises (kills germs), but it does not clean off physical dirt or food residue.
Can I use warm water instead of cold water for the solution?
No, it is important to use clean, cold water as specified in the instructions. The cold water method is specifically formulated for optimal performance and safety with these tablets.
How long do items need to soak to be sterilised?
Items need to soak for a minimum of 15 minutes to be effectively sterilised. They can remain in the solution for up to 24 hours.
Troubleshooting
Tablet is not dissolving completely or quickly.
Ensure you are using cold water as specified. If the water is too warm, it may affect dissolution. Stir the water gently to aid dissolution, or break the tablet into smaller pieces before dropping it in.
Solution appears cloudy or discoloured.
This can happen if items were not thoroughly washed before being put into the solution, or if the water quality is poor. Always wash items rigorously first. If the solution becomes cloudy prematurely, discard it and prepare a fresh batch with clean water.
Items don't seem fully submerged.
It's crucial that all items are completely covered by the solution. Use a plate or a clean, weighted object to keep lighter items submerged. Ensure no air bubbles are trapped, especially in bottles or teats, as these areas will not be sterilised.
Concern about item cleanliness after sterilising.
Remember that sterilisation kills germs; it does not clean physical dirt or food residue. If items still look dirty, it means they were not washed thoroughly enough *before* being placed in the solution. Always wash and rinse all items completely before the sterilisation step.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
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.

- Breast pump parts
- Baby bottles (plastic and glass)
- Teats and bottle caps
- Soothers and pacifiers
- Teething rings
- Small plastic toys suitable for babies
- Plastic cutlery and weaning items
It is generally safe for plastics, silicone, and glass typically used in baby products. Always check manufacturer guidelines for specific items if unsure.
Care & Maintenance of Solution
- Solution Lifespan: The prepared sterilising solution remains effective for 24 hours. After this period, it should be discarded and a fresh solution prepared for continued sterilisation.
- 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.
