Daily clean: Rinse after emptying and wash with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser from our cup cleaning range.
Steam steriliser
Add water to the fill line. Place your washed cup upside down on the tray, close/vent the lid, and start the cycle. Cool fully before handling, then tip out water, air-dry and store.
Microwave silicone steriliser
Fill with water per instructions. Place the cup upside down, rest the lid loosely to vent, and microwave — never run dry. Use oven mitts to remove, cool, then air-dry.
UV portable steriliser
Wash first with mild soap and water, dry, then place inside the UV chamber. Keep the lid closed during the cycle. Remove and store dry once complete.
Stovetop (alternative)
Submerge in boiling water for 3–5 minutes (or as your brand recommends). Tip: use a metal whisk to keep it off the pot's hot base.
Always add sufficient water for steam or microwave methods.
Do not seal microwave sterilisers airtight — steam must be allowed to vent.
Let devices cool fully before opening; handle with care.
Follow your specific brand's instructions.
Avoid harsh cleaners, bleach, oil-based soaps and antibacterial washes on silicone.
Between emptying, wash with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser and water. For travel, consider pH-balanced cup wash or wipes designed for reusable period products. Sterilise between cycles or whenever extra reassurance is desired. Explore our Cleaning & Care range for compatible cup washes, wipes and brushes.
Silicone microwave cups: Rinse after use, wash with mild detergent, dry thoroughly and store with the lid ajar.

Inspect parts regularly and replace if cracked, warped or discoloured.
