8.2 Washing and disinfecting
Washing and disinfecting are two different activities. They must be done separately to protect you
and your baby, and to maintain the performance of your breast pump.
Wash (before first use and after each use)
– to clean the parts by physically removing
milk residues and other possible
contaminants.

Disinfect (before first use and once per

day after use) – to effectively lower the
number of germs that may be present on
the surfaces of the washed parts.
Boil the washed parts for at least 5 minutes.
Make sure the parts are fully immersed in water
and that they are not in direct contact with the
bottom of the pot.
Disinfect in microwave using Quick Clean
bags in accordance with the instructions
on the bags.

dish towel or paper towel. It is important that
all residual moisture dries completely.
