steriliser descaling
How do I descale my baby bottle steriliser?
We recommend that you use a descaler specifically designed for electric sterilisers.
We no longer recommend using citric acid for descaling, as it is difficult to find, varies in strengths and does not come with instructions.
Why should I descale my steriliser?
By descaling the steriliser you remove the build up of lime scale on the electric element within the steriliser. The long term build up of lime scale can cause the element to stop working. If you don’t descale the electric steriliser then this could affect your warranty.
Where can I buy descaler?
We recommend to buy Boots own brand descaler, as they have the full instructions on the sachet.

I have sterilised my bottles, why have they got marks on them?
The bottles are still required to be washed before sterilising. Your steriliser may need descaling, we recommend descaling every 4 weeks.

Tips for using your microwave steriliser
Make sure the turntable of your microwave is clean. Food residues can overheat and may cause the base of your steriliser to melt.
If you have a combination microwave, make sure the grill is turned off. Otherwise you risk melting the lid of your steriliser.
Why has the element in the bottom of my steriliser changed to a brown colour?
Your sterilizer is due to be descaled, we recommend to do this approximately every 4-6 weeks.
How much water should I use in my steriliser?
You should use 200ml in the closer to nature® microwave steriliser and 80ml in the closer to nature® electric sterilizer?
