Guide Review - Quick Clean Micro-Steam Bags

It used to be that cleaning your breast pump parts was very tedious work. Now steam cleaning has become the new way to kill 99+% of all the germs. Though typical steam cleaners are bulky and hard to travel with for the average person. These bags make that a thing of the past.

Each bag is good for up to 20 cleanings. You simply open the bag, put in your rinsed off parts and add two ounces of water and close the bag (uses grooved tracks to close easily like sandwich bags). The you put it in your microwave, how long you do it depends on the strength of the microwave, but generally about four minutes is sufficient.

You can use the bags to clean nearly any feeding accessory for your baby. You can do baby bottles and pacifiers. You can do breast pump parts, even the breast pump tubing. The directions for each are written on each bag.

The first time I used this I was a bit leery of how it would work. The bag stands up while in the microwave and I watched it spin around. You must be very careful opening the bag. Steam does burn, I tell you this from personal experience.
