What is the best way to clean? Can they be cleaned with microwave or counter sterilizer?

These bottles are really cheaply made and the plastic won't stand up to a lot of heat before it starts to break down, in my opinion. I wouldn't clean with either method you mentioned, just use soap and warm water. Hope this helps! :)

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.

Because of the dark coating, you don't need to polish them. You do need to use plastic or silicon utensils to avoid chipping or scratching the inner lining. As to cleaning, I have found that just dish soap and warm water work well. If the mess is a sticky one, I soak it for a few minutes and the mess wipes right out.

They are sterile so you don't need to wash them. Just open one and attach it. I haven't tried reusing them. I thought about it until I started using them. I think it's impractical.

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

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

As best I can recall, the company advises that you use a tea-tree essential oil in a water solution to disinfect them. That is how I cleaned them. I let them sit overnight, then allowed them to air dry.

You still have to wash everything with soap before sterilizing, since the steam can't remove crusted on milk, etc. BUT the design is clever, because the inner box that holds all the little pieces can be put in the dishwasher, and then you can either consider those pieces clean AND sterile, or you can quickly steam it after so it's been separately washed and sterilized. What I did was keep the whole microwave box on the counter, near my normal dish dying rack, so that I could wash each item in the sink as I used it and then place it directly in the steamer. Then, at the end of the day, or whenever I needed those items, I'd sterilize everything in the steamer, and let it all dry with the lid off for a little while. That system worked pretty well, even though we have little counter space, it was worth it to keep the steamer right there all the time.

Soap and a soft dish cloth. They clean easily. Food rarely gets stuck on them, if so soak for awhile and wash them with a soft cloth.

Don't hand wash, use top shelf of the dishwasher. You'll want to sanitize them since they are usually in people's mouths. You will need a small basket for the caps. Be creative.

I would use a gentle dish soap or maybe a spray household cleaner if they're really grimy. Just don't let any liquid run down inside!

If you wipe a thin layer of oil on them before you put the eggs in, they stay pretty clean. I just dump the boiled water from the poaching process in the cups to sterilize them, then wipe them with a dish towel or paper towel. That way, they never get the soapy/perfume taste on them in the first place.

Im not sure but i know you can clean them like your own teeth, with your toothbrush and toothpaste. Also you can soak it in mouthwash for about 5-10 minutes to help sanitize it. Try using google for more information.

I'm sorry but I don't have the original box anymore. I have been looking at mine and thinking abouthand-washing them in something like Woolite, rinsing and wrapping in towel to squeeze excess liquid out. Then I guess I will air dry them. This is my best idea.

They are probably not dishwasher or microwave safe. They'd probably melt / deform in either the dishwasher or microwave. You could probably hand rinse/wash an reuse if needed, but considering - it's probably not advisable.

I just flush them with purified water and let them air dry but if you want to you can get cleaning tablets. Ive never had a problem with them though.

It's not advised. I was worried about that when I purchased them however, due to the non-stick coating, cleaning them by hand is quick and simple. No scrubbing. I typically use warm water, a little soap and a paper towel.

We sterilize with the microwave. You put a little bit of water in the bottom and then nuke it on high for 4 minutes. Seems to be ok with that.
