Can I put these in the madela microwavable steam bag to sanitize?

I would think so. I am not sure because I never used them. They were the wrong valve for my pump. Do you need more? I could ship them to you. At least someone would get some use from them!

Yes, you can. I do it all the time. These are great. Big improvement over Medela valves.

It can be sterilized with steam, boiling water or in microwavable steam bag.

Absolutely. Anything exposed to water and air needs sanitized from time to time. Try taking apart one of those water cooler stands - the mold growth on the inside is nauseating because people only clean the outside! I put the pieces in the top rack of my dishwasher and run it on sanitize.

These should not be washed in a machine. Spot clean only. I have a handheld steam cleaner that I wash mine with and it works great.

As long as there is no metalic edge on these microwaving would be fine. I would not recommend putting them in the dishwasher because they are delicate and the pattern may fade.

Not designed for use with the disposable sani pads, but I do not have this brand so cannot say the replacement pads wouldn't fit for sure. My guess is that they will not work because I can see that the replacement pads are much thicker than the disposable ones, so the steam might not penetrate enough. Plus, if you are using a spray, it may make the replacement pads hard to clean. I would ask the manufacturer. They must have a Q&A; website.

I haven't tried but looking at them I would say that if you put them in a small lingerie bag and wash them in the gentle cycle they should be ok

I prefer not to. You can't sterilize them. Can't remember if you can steam sterilize though. the spoons are plastic although they are soft. still, i bought silicone tipped spoons and rubber spoons for my baby because he chews on them. i didnt feel comfortable with the plastic. plus, you can sterilize it if it's silicone tipped. i saved mine for future use. im sure he will appreciate the colors better when hes a bit older or has teeth already.

I do not see why you would need to since they are made of nylon netting, like the type used in shower puffs. You rinse and hang them to air dry in shower after each use. I suppose you could put them in a wash bag then put them in a washing machine, but not in the dryer! They will melt.

I used them well after the infant time period so I just used dishwashing soap and or dishwasher. You could use the counter steamer. I never sterilized via microwave. I prefer seventh generation unscented dishwashing liquid or pamolitive (sp.?) as those are gentle.

Yes they are. You can sterilize them in the microwave on their own, no sterilizing tub needed.

I used one as a lingerie bag, on the gentle cycle. I don't recall offhand if they *are*, but I think if you put them all into one bag and used gentle cycle, minimal or no soap, air dry they would be fine.

Yes you can. They come in small packets and if cut along the line, can definitely be put into thermal bags

yes! and I prefer to keep the Medela microwave steam bags handy at work/home. They're wonderful!

I don't know. I always sterilized mine in my Medela microwave bags and never had an issue

I use these bags 5 or 6 times before recycling them. It's a little more difficult to seal the bag after the first use, but it will reseal. I've only steamed veggies and potatoes in them. I wash them in hot water and some dish soap after each use. I am going to try steaming some cod, salmon or albacore as well. I don't see why they can't be reused after steaming fish or seafood. Just rinse and wash out right after you take the food out of the bag.

Yes, but only by hand - instruction tag on inside of bag says "Do Not Wash - Wipe Off." I just use a very damp cloth. They cannot be put in a washing machine! However if bad stains, I can give detailed instructions on how to do this if needed. The by hand method works fine for me so far.

Yes you can and it will be sanitized also. Being slow I stuck my finger in the steam and it was hot. Some cold water helped and I won't do that again.
