How often can this be used and how is it sterilized? What is the plastic made from?

The bucket can be used as long as the handles are intact. You wash it really well. Because this is for your trash shoot, unless your doctor is specific about cleaning, just wash and rinse out the bucket, then rinse with vinegar and dry after you wash the soap out. The plastic is plastic. These were used in hospitals. You got to take them home with you if you had to use it. The clamp isn't very sturdy. I don't like a slide clamp, they leak. You can buy a better clamp for the hose at a hospital supply store or even at some pet shops. The tubing can be replaced with aquarium tubing (if you want good maintenance). The soap can be substituted with any soap. For years I used bar soap, Ivory or another gentle soap. If you are set on complete sanitation in an area that dosen't need it, buy fleet enemas.

I have no idea what the plastic is made out of, but I clean mine with extremely HOT, not boiling water and rubbing alcohol of at least 91%

I do not know the answer to these questions because I threw the product out. This product is very poor quality. I would not waste my money on it again.

Look at the Gerson Institute web pages for how often. They recommend cleaning the tip with hydrogen peroxide.

It appears to be some kind of industrial plastic that doesn't melt. I only used the poacher once and I'm about to re-sell it so it's packed away at the moment. Sorry I'm not more helpful.

I do not know exactly the type of plastic it is made from but my grandson has been using this now for about 5 months and it is very durable and he loves it. Quality is very good and we have not been disappointed whatsoever in the quality, craftsmanship or the toy itself.

I don't have any knowledge of that. It's plastic. That's all I can tell you.

I'm not sure. I bought this last year and did use it but didn't think it was worth the hype. It's either in back of a cupboard or I gave it away....hope this helps! And I now don't use anything plastic anymore!

Yes, when I first bought it we sterilized in a pot of hot water for 5-10 mins. Other than that, we rinse it with the Medela soap and hot water. I wouldn't recommend using the microwave or dishwasher as these things can break down the plastic. Of course, that is being a really anal parent. Every two weeks I sterilize it again within a pot of hot water but I never use the microwave or dishwasher.

Plastic. The spout occasionally pops off. I've never had one do that before, however, I use mine for hand soap rather than lotion. I don't believe I would buy another one like it. Hope that helps you.

It seems to be made of a vinyl like plastic. I haven't had any issue with it but I don't leave my child in for that long , just for feeding times and occasional sitting and chilling

It is made of silicone, my husband loves it. It can be easily cleaned and it lasts a long time. Good luck.

I don't think any of it is exactly "plastic." Bakelite maybe? I've been using mine for almost two years, on a daily basis. This is actually my everyday coffee maker, so it's on for about 10-12 hours a day (I'm at home full time) and I LOVE this machine!

It is made of sturdy plastic. I've used it many times and its held up very well. Works great!

I've heard that people keep it in the fridge. You can also get a few sets of the tubes and cups so you have some spares. I would not sterilize but just wash after use and sterilize every couple days. I had no issues.

No, I didn't sterilized it. I wash is with soap warm water. And I rinsed it with boiling hot water.

It's clean - just stained. I've found that it will come off eventually through normal use. If you clean it immediately after use it vastly reduces staining. You can also soak it in a 10% bleach solution to both sterilize and whiten it, but I don't do this too often because I'm concerned that the bleach could prematurely age the plastic. Honestly a little staining doesn't bother me enough to bother trying to bleach it - a quick dip to sterilize and then rinse is all I usually bother with.

I used methylated spirit to sterilize mine. My guess is that rubbing alcohol will be just fine.

I studied the spigot with my magnifying glass and there is not an indication of what kind of plastic is used. the Spigot is metal. I have had mine for a month and use the Spigot 20 times a day. again the spigot per se is metal not plastic. I have no problems with the spigot and use it at least 20 times a day.

Plastic and it worked great for about 5 years. Recently I used it to mix sausage balls and it broke. Probably a combination of age and a really thick mixture.
