Things Needed:

1. Large vessel with lid
2. Bottle brush
3. Liquid soap

Method

1. Unscrew the covers of the bottle and separate nipples. Rinse the nipples in water in order to get the slime off them. Then apply salt inside and outside them and put it in the sun.

2. Wash bottles, rim and covers of the bottle with a liquid soap.

3. Scrub them with the brush to remove slime that milk tends to leave behind. You can fill water in the used milk bottles after use so that milk dose not dry them and they are easier to clean.

4. After scrubbing nicely fill them with water before you immense them in the vessel of water, so that you have minimum number of air bubbles and they remain nicely submerged.

5. Now put the vessel on fire with its lid on it. Let it actively boil.

6. When the water is boiling, bring nipples inside and wash them thoroughly in running water to remove trace of salt.

7. Remove lid of vessel and put the nipples in the vessel.

8. Turn off the flame after few minutes.

9. Let the water cool off a bit, wash your hands with soap and water and take out the feeding equipments.

10. Fix the nipples on the rim, and put the covers on the bottles kept aside for use during the day.
