The Best Natural Way to Clean Baby Bottles

Learning how to feed your baby is just as important as understanding what to
feed her. Babies need to get their food and formula from extra-clean
bottles and feeding implements. If you're practicing a "green" lifestyle,
you may wonder how to create these conditions without resorting to chemical
cleaners or running an almost-empty dishwasher for the sake of a few clean
bottles. But hot water and baking soda can help you achieve germ-free
feeding. It's important to clean and sterilize bottle tops as well, along
with anything else that touches the bottles.
Items you will need:
Baking soda 小苏打粉
Table salt, optional 盐
Low-residue dish soap, optional 低残留洗涤灵
Large pot and lid 大锅，盖子
Bottle brush 奶瓶刷
Clean cloth or towels 清洁毛巾或纸巾
Sterilized metal tongs 消毒过的金属瓶夹
Step 1:
Scour your sink or basin and pot with baking soda or table salt and hot
water. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the
vessel in which you wash the bottles may itself pose contamination risks if
it's not clean (see References 2).
Step 2:
Add all of the components of the baby bottles to a large, clean bowl or
basin filled with hot water and 1/2 box baking soda.
Step 3:
Soak the bottles and pieces overnight.
Step 4:
Wash your hands with soap and water before handling the bottles the next
morning. Dry your hands thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Step 5:
Scrub the bottles with a clean bottle brush. Use hot water and either baking
soda or low-residue soap. The United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization recommends soap to clean bottles (see References 3). The
Environmental Protection Agency notes that baking soda eliminates any chance
that babies might ingest soapy residue (see References 1).
Step 6:
Rinse bottles with hot water.
Step 7:
Fill a large pot with water and 3 tablespoon baking soda and place the pot
on the stove.
Step 8:
Add the bottles, nipples and rims to the pot and cover the pot tightly.
Step 9:
Turn the burner to high and boil the feeding equipment for at least three
minutes.
Step 10:
Leave the equipment in the covered pot until it is needed if you will use it
that day. Remove a bottle, nipple and rim with metal forceps as needed.
Alternatively, remove all of the equipment, dry thoroughly with a clean
cloth or towel and store in an area free of dust and other contaminants.
Tips
Soaking the bottles overnight is an optional step if you both clean and
sterilize the bottles the next day.
If you find yourself short of clean dishcloths, consider resorting to
paper towels. The product may be disposable, but using paper towels is
preferable to wiping bottles with a germ-laden sponge or cloth. Use paper
towels from recycled paper if possible.
Warnings
If you own a baby bottle sterilizer, follow the manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning rather than risk damaging the equipment with non-
specified natural cleaners.
