Protecting their little ones from nasty bacteria, viruses and germs is every parent’s priority. Equipment such as baby bottles, breast pumps, soothers and teats can get dirty quickly – with lingering milk residue, dirt from being dropped and contamination from coming into contact with saliva. As cleaning bottles, soothers and other equipment is a fundamental part of every parent’s daily routine, mum and dad need an efficient and effective method of cleaning their little one’s equipment. Thankfully, there is a huge selection of sterilisers available on the market to make killing germs easy and stress free!
Baby Brands Direct offer retailers and business owners access to the best sterilisers, from top brands such as Vital Baby, Tommee Tippee, Milton and Philips Avent. These handy pieces of kit are perfect for keeping in the kitchen, on worktops, as they are compact and designed with space saving in mind. It’s advised that parents continue to sterilise feeding equipment throughout their baby’s first year, to ensure that they are protected while they’re developing their immune systems and at their most vulnerable to illnesses, bacteria and parasites. All our sterilisers are built for purpose and will support mum and dad through their little one’s first year. There are many different types of steriliser available, each with their own unique features and functionalities to suit the customer’s preferences and requirements. From solution, to microwave, to UV – there’s something for every one!
Milton’s Cold Water Steriliser is one of the more basic models on the market, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t effective! This simple steriliser can be used with Milton’s cold water solution method, which has been trusted and used by hospitals and midwives for over 70 years. Used with either Milton Sterilising Tablets or Milton Sterilising Fluid, the steriliser is perfect for sterilising a number of different items – from bottles to soothers and even weaning cutlery! The Cold Water Steriliser features a secure lid and locking handle to protect the solution from any outside contaminants. It also features a submerger to keep all the items in the solution.
Baby Brands Direct also stock a variety of microwave sterilisers from brands such as Philips Avent, MAM, Dr Browns, Tommee Tippee and NUK. These sterilisers are designed to be placed in the microwave, meaning they’re small and compact. The microwave steriliser harnesses the 100% natural sterilising power of steam, which may appeal to parents that are concerned about using chemicals or products on their baby’s feeding equipment. Mum and dad can simply place the bottles and other utensils into the microwave steriliser, pour in some water and let the microwave’s heat do all the work. Each steriliser only needs to be in the microwave for four or five minutes, making this a great speedy method of sterilising bottles. The items remain sterilised inside the steriliser for 24 hours if unopened, so parents can do this before bed and ensure that their little ones have fresh bottles for the morning!
Also available are some electronic steam sterilisers, which utilise steam but don’t require a microwave to be effective. This means there is less hassle for the parent as they can simply place their items in the steriliser with some water and switch on a button! One such item is the NUK Vario Express Steam Steriliser. This steriliser is effective in removing 99.9% of germs using only steam. With six repositionable rods and the large capacity basket, there is room for 6 bottles. Once switched on, the electric NUK Steriliser heats up and boils the water inside it. With temperatures of over 90°C, the germs are killed quickly and effectively. The Vario Express can also house sterilised items for up to 24 hours.
Sterilisers have come a long way over the years and with rapid advancements in technology, the UV steriliser has revolutionised the way in which parents sterilise bottles. There will always be fans of the more traditional methods highlighted above – but UV sterilisers are a great option for busy modern parents that are concerned about wasted water and using chemicals. The multi-award winning Vital Baby NURTURE Advanced Pro UV Steriliser is an excellent example of the benefits of UV sterilising. UV sterilisation is proven to be a clean and effective way to kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses. The steriliser’s advanced, energy efficient UV LED’s and expertly designed interior gives a fast sterilising time of just 7 minutes. There’s no need for parents to use water or solution. They can just pop the items in the steriliser and press the button! Vital Baby’s steriliser also features a drying function. Parents can start with a drying cycle before automatically performing a sterilising cycle. This gives them sterile and dry bottles in just 29 minutes!
