Frequently asked questions
How do you use Milton sterilising fluid?
Add the measured amount of fluid to cold water in a container or Milton unit, fully submerge the cleaned items making sure no air bubbles are trapped, and leave them for 15 minutes. Items can then be used without rinsing.
Is Milton sterilising fluid safe?
Used as directed, Milton is a long-established and safe way to sterilise baby feeding equipment. Keep the concentrated fluid out of the reach of children and follow the dilution instructions carefully.
Do you need to rinse Milton sterilising fluid?
No - with the Milton method, items do not need rinsing after sterilising and can be used straight away, as the solution at the correct dilution is safe. Simply shake off any excess solution.
Does Milton sterilising fluid contain bleach?
Milton is a chlorine-based solution (sodium hypochlorite), which is related to household bleach but is a specific, controlled dilution designed for sterilising. Do not substitute ordinary household bleach.
How does Milton sterilising fluid work?
The chlorine-based solution kills bacteria and viruses on submerged items within 15 minutes, sterilising baby bottles, teats and other equipment. It works by disinfecting all the surfaces sitting in the solution.
How long does made-up Milton solution last?
A made-up Milton solution stays effective for 24 hours, after which you should pour it away and make a fresh batch. Items can remain in the solution ready to use during that time.
Does Milton sterilising fluid bleach clothes?
Because it is chlorine-based, Milton can bleach or mark coloured fabrics, so take care to avoid splashes on clothing. It is worth wearing an apron and protecting surfaces when you use it.
