How do you clean the pouches?

Hi Nicole,For health and regulatory reasons, we can not advise washing and reusing Twist Pouches. They are difficult to clean, and sterility is very important (as you know!) when handling breast milk.This is the case for ALL breast milk storage pouches.Make sure to buy 80 packs or 40 packs of pouches (not 20pks), as they are much cheaper!Hope this helps!Thanks,The Kiinde Team

I usually spray them with a liquid cleaning solution like windex or Lysol and them wipe with towels.

I hand wash mine with mild soap and warm water, reshape them and air dry. So far, so good!

I wash mine in hot soapy water and then sterilize them. We're now starting to use the bigger ones too. Absolutely love them all!

It is cleanable. I've turned it inside out to wash it out. Any strong smelling treat will permeate it though. I use the pouch for horse training and I accidentally put a garlic paste laced grain in it. I washed it out a lot, but the horse refused any treat from that bag, and I had to buy a new one.

Hi Elise, to be honest, I haven't tried yet, because I haven't used them much, I would suggest looking at the little directions on the package, but I am going to try a little liquid soap and warm water; I believe that will clean them properly. Hope that helps!

No you cannot take the pouches off. They are sewn on. There are four Molle rows on the far left/right side of the pouches with 3 slots per row.

I used to wash them with a mild soap and either use microwavable sterilizing bags or my aventi sterilizer.

Very easy. Just flip them up and out and the two peices separate for easy cleaning.

I put a grocery bag over my hand like a glove, fold up the pad, then pull the bag over the wadded up pad, tie it and toss it. Then I use a pre-moistened cleaning wipe to clean and (sort of) deodorize the tray.

Turn them inside out and use a sponge with soapy water. Cleans like a breeze and the baked goods slide out of them better than any other brand I've used!!

To clean them I use a very small amount of the foaming bacterial soap and clean them by hand.I then thoroughly wash them, removing any soap, dry by paper towel, then let air dry.

I would recommend rinsing them out if possiblebut they are wide enough that a bottle scrub brush cleans it pretty easily. I also keep my smaller Dr. Browns wire cleaner apparatus handy to detail the nozzle and lid. I love these packets!!!

I have spot cleaned them with baking soda and water. Also with the upholstery attachment on my carpet shampooer.

Usually, i rub them with soapy cloth, then wipe them. Or put the whole thing in a sink and wash the seat all together. The straps dry within an hour.

I set them in hot soapy water for a minute, then rinse them with hot water and hang them to dry. I do this right after I finish putting up the milk so the milk hasn't dried in the tubes and comes out very clean.

I pulled my manual out and here are the cleaning directions.After using the device 5-6 times or 2-3 days, clean as follows:1. Unplug the power cord from the base of the unit and uncover.2. Pour out any remaining water from the "DRAIN SIDE" of the tank.3. Put 1 Tablespoon of citric acid in the water tank, add just under 100 ml of warm water.4. Leave water for 5 minutes, and then drain the solution from the "DRAIN SIDE" of the tank.5. Wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid Ultrasonic Vibration plate area, which can be gently cleaned with a cotton bud.Never use other acids, enzymes or detergents, as this may risk poisonous gas to be created or cause malfunction.
