Questions in our email session triggered this article, not because we want to degrade or devalue any product. All breast pumps on the market are the same in terms of usage and purpose. There are only some differences in the function setting, certification, insurance covered, and suction level; we shall briefly discuss this now.

Cleaning and sterilizing breast pumps, accessories, and other items
Cleaning your breast pump periodically is essential for a safe and healthy pumping experience. Below is a list of the rules. For the sake of mom and baby's safety and health, it's essential to frequently clean and sanitize your breast pump while pumping. Here are our cleaning instructions for your breast pump.
How do I get started?
Before handling your breast pump, cleaning the parts and attachments, or touching your breasts, wash your hands
Are the components of my breast pump have to be cleaned before use?
Yes! Clean and sterilize the components and bottles of your breast pump before using it for the first time.
When should I clean the components of my breast pump?
Your breast pump's components and bottles should be cleaned and sanitized once daily after each use.
What parts of the breast pump do I clean?
The quick response is: pretty much everything! Every part of the breast pump that comes into touch with your breast or the milk, such as the breast shields, breast milk bottles, bottle lids, valves, membranes, and connectors, should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. You can avoid bacterial growth and dried breast milk residue by doing so. If you notice any residue or humidity, wash the tubing only then.
How do I wash the components of my breast pump?
You have two options for cleaning the components of a breast pump: in the dishwasher or a sink.
▶ Dishwasher: All separated parts can be washed on the top rack of your dishwasher and then dried by air in a spotless location. Your parts may turn discolored after using the dishwasher, but don't worry—this won't affect how well they work.
▶ Wash Basin in Sink: You can also wash the components of your breast pump in the sink, provided you use a big bowl or wash basin designated specifically for your nursing equipment. Please make sure they never come into direct contact with the sink. Before soaking them in warm, soapy water for five minutes, all separated components that came into contact with breast and milk should first be rinsed in cool water. Keep Quick Clean Breast Milk Removal Soap on hand to make cleaning easier. Each component should be cleaned with a fresh dish towel or gentle brush before rinsing in clear water.
How should my breast pump be cleaned?
You don't need to sanitize as frequently, even though you should wash your breast pump and all its components after each use. After they have been washed, we advise sanitizing your components and accessories once per day.
First, segregate everything that comes into contact with the breasts or the milk, and then properly wash your hands. Cover all the ingredients with water in a saucepan., then bring the water to a boil. Place the components in the boiling water for 10 minutes. Allow water to cool before using tongs to remove components carefully. Place the components on a clean surface or towel so they may dry naturally once you've finished cleaning. Always keep the components of your pump clean and cold while not in use.
Follow the Quick Clean Micro-Steam Bags directions when using the steam method. For quick and simple end-of-day sanitation, these bags let you sanitize breast shields, accessories, bottles, nipples, pacifiers, and cups in around 3 minutes.
