Caring for your rinse bottle

How can I keep my bottle clean

Please perform routine inspections of the bottle and tube for any discolorations and cracks. If there are any visual signs of deterioration or permanent color changes, please clean thoroughly. If the discolorations remain after cleansing, discard the items and purchase new ones. Our recommendation is to replace the bottle every three months. We strongly suggest that you follow all these steps after each use of the product.

• Rinse the cap, tube and bottle using running water. Fill the bottle with previously boiled, distilled or drinkable water.
• Add a few drops of dishwashing liquid or baby shampoo.
• Attach the cap and tube to the bottle. Hold your finger over the opening in the cap and hake the bottle vigorously.
• Then squeeze the bottle hard to allow the soapy solution to clean the interior of the tube and the cap and empty out the bottle completely.
• Using a bottle and nipple brush, scrub the bottle, cap and tube thoroughly. (Available at general merchandise or baby supply stores)
• Rinse the soap from the bottle, cap and tube thoroughly, and place the items on a clean paper towel.
