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?????  -------------  My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  Was danni-chick Mum to James My Angel 28/07/08 |

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.... ------------- My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

| 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? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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? ------------- Andie |

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. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Thanks everyone,
I boil them in water after each wash (my fancy steriliser). Have tried salt... Will give the baking soda a go tomorrow.... ------------- My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

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