Why do I now need to rinse after using Milton Sterilising products?
Milton products have been used and trusted for over 100 years, with millions of parents and midwives using the Milton Method of sterilising. Our loved formula has not changed but the regulations that apply to our products have been updated.
To comply with the new stricter regulations, we must recommend an additional rinsing step after sterilising. The regulatory bodies have advised Milton to update its instructions to “rinse with drinking water” and we have begun updating our packaging and website communications accordingly. However, we are aware that this change has caused confusion, as there is a disconnect between our new advice—“rinse with drinking water”—and the guidance from the NHS, which currently states “either shake off the formula or use cooled boiled water”.
We are now consulting with the NHS to align the advice.
To avoid confusion in the short term, we are updating our advice on rinsing to “rinse with cooled boiled water.” And we are in the process of reviewing our packaging and website.
While the regulatory authorities have confirmed that it is safe to rinse with drinking water, and this is not a mandatory requirement, Milton wants to ensure that users receive a single, unified set of instructions aligned with NHS guidance.
We apologise for any confusion this has caused and remain fully committed to the highest standards of safety, helping parents protect their families from germs.
