Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use a baby bottle sterilizer?
A bottle sterilizer is a machine that quickly eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria and germs from baby bottles and other small items like bottle nipples, pacifiers and teethers. Most bottle sterilizers run on electricity and use steam in the sterilization process, although some sterilizers now utilize UV light in lieu of steam to eliminate germs by breaking down their DNA at the molecular level. There are also steam sterilizers that don’t need to be plugged in and are for use in the microwave. Sterilizers come in a variety of sizes and price points.
