I used to dismantle it, giveit a good scrub then put it on empty with a squeeze of lemon juice in the water as it cleans it and freshens the smell too.
I think you can buy products to put in like Milton etc but I found this worked just as good.
I buy a descaler in a bottle. I just put in a cap full and run the sterilizer then give it a really good rinse out. Easy! Quite satisfying to see all the muck come out.
It would be better not to use kettle descalers because of the harsh chemicals. Thats why people like Avent pack them with sachets of citric acid.
Go to your local chemist and ask for citric acid. Use 10g in 200ml of water. Then you let the steriliser run for a 3 minutes and leave to stand for half an hour. Then just rinse.
i have a cold water steriliser, do i have to de scale mine too? also i was wondering, do you clean it with warm soapy water every time you change sterilising water? sorry for being thick on this one
