How do I sterilize it. We have always used Sonic Care but they all needed to be sterilized?

I've never strerilized mine, i just switch out every other month and rinse with extremely hot water. :/

I have never found it necessary to sterilize it as long as it is kept away from areas of serious germs.

I have never sterilized. I treat it like any other tooth brush. Keep it clean, dry it after use and replace when it starts getting worn down. The motor unit needs a dry every now and then if you dribble some toothpaste inside, but is otherwise very easy to clean.

Thank you for your interest. Just like with any avent bottle, you can do it using the microwave or electric sterilizer

I have found the best way is to wash with dishwashing liquid, being careful to clean between all the little holes and spaces, then I place it in my steaming sterilizer for 15-20 mins. You can also pour hot water on the parts after washing and allow to soak for 15-20 mins. Be sure to put them out to dry before using it again since moisture could get sucked into the pump if the head is wet. Hope this helps.

I would just sterilize after the initial purchase. You really don't need to sterilize bottles/parts each time anymore. That is an old recommendation from when water supplies weren't as safe. I do sterilize my bottles/parts once in a while still but really just hot soapy water or a run through the dishwasher is sufficient. Plus if you think about it- When you sterilize an item you also need to sterilize the tongs used to pick it up, the counter or drying rack you sit it on, the cupboard which it then goes into, and any other surface it is likely to touch by the time it's used for a feeding... You are never going to be able to keep your bottles sterile.

i would sterilize them. i boiled water and then i let the instruments sit in the water for a minute. i also dipped each of them in rubbing alcohol. this is not an official recommendation, i am not a professional, but this is what i did.

In the instruction booklet I believe it says you have to microwave it in order to sterilize it.

I use hot water and peroxide to clean mine for a hedgehog by using a washcloth and bucket or sometimes I walk back and forth to the sink as it's not that far. I have also used Clorox wipes prior to being told to use peroxide/water.

Yes! That's what I do to sterilize it! To take it apart you just push the tube up through the cup and it comes right off! Hope this helps! :)

You still have to wash everything with soap before sterilizing, since the steam can't remove crusted on milk, etc. BUT the design is clever, because the inner box that holds all the little pieces can be put in the dishwasher, and then you can either consider those pieces clean AND sterile, or you can quickly steam it after so it's been separately washed and sterilized. What I did was keep the whole microwave box on the counter, near my normal dish dying rack, so that I could wash each item in the sink as I used it and then place it directly in the steamer. Then, at the end of the day, or whenever I needed those items, I'd sterilize everything in the steamer, and let it all dry with the lid off for a little while. That system worked pretty well, even though we have little counter space, it was worth it to keep the steamer right there all the time.

Nonono, I just clean it like once every 2nd month or something in the cleaning station. I clean it once per month just by adding soap to it and let it buzz for 30 seconds :)

So when you say "steralize" you mean to clean it right? You mention Lube, what type of Lube do you use when you insert it?

I sanitized with clorox followed by a really good rinsing. Worked fine - the kit is really good!

Hi Lauren, Yes. We hand washed everything before sterilizing them. I am not sure if this is necessary, but we don't want to deal with bacteria build-up down the road. Annoying? Yes, but its for the good of our baby. Hope this help.

I used them well after the infant time period so I just used dishwashing soap and or dishwasher. You could use the counter steamer. I never sterilized via microwave. I prefer seventh generation unscented dishwashing liquid or pamolitive (sp.?) as those are gentle.

I bought 2 as gifts, I do not have that information. I'm sure you'd be able to find it online, either on Amazon.com or Sonicare.com.

Clean with a anti bacterial toy cleaner or a mild solution of soap and water. Pat dry. Thank you for shopping with us. ~Vert Delivery
