I need some help!!

I scrub and scrub my bottles, but never seem to be able to get rid of faint white marks around the very bottom (prob last 50ml) of the bottle.
I got told to try rice and salt with boiling water and shake it around. I tried it and still no improvement!!

Any ideas?????

I used a specific baby bottle brush for our bottles that seems to get the milk out but James doesn't take the bottle so the milk wasn't in there for very long.

thanks Danni, I have got a tommee tippee bottle brush, cost about $10 so you'd think it would do the job?!?!
Ah well, more scrubbing I guess....

I had the same problem i think it happens when the formula/milk is more greasy! I found a dishwasher was just awesome! That and cleaning them then sterilising them then cleaning again and resterilising them lol Dishwasher was the best bet though

Dont worry we dont have a dishwasher either. What about boiling it in a pot with water perhaps?

We have a dishwasher... named Andie.  Blugh.

Good luck with those bottles, Anna.  My Plunket nurse said to rub salt in the teats to prevent milk build-up clogging them... maybe rubbing it on the bottles would work?

Baking soda - 1tsp per litre of water, and soak them for a while. The gremlins are on Neocate (prescription formula) which leaves a film on the bottles and the formula manfaturer recommends baking soda. Seems to work well too.

Thanks everyone,

I boil them in water after each wash (my fancy steriliser).

Have tried salt...

Will give the baking soda a go tomorrow....

We used the Avent Bottle Wash which was really good, never had a problem.
