How do I clean and care for my Haakaa Steamer & Steriliser Bag?
To maintain your Haakaa Multipurpose Steamer & Steriliser Bag:
Washing: Wash before each use. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended.
Sterilising: To sterilise, use a steam steriliser or boil in water for 2-3 minutes.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use bleach-based cleaners or tablets, as they can affect the clarity and integrity of the silicone.
Drying: After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly. The bag includes a storage loop for convenient hanging and drying.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Note: Silicone may absorb the colours of foods it comes in contact with. To minimise discolouration, wash immediately after steaming.
What should I do if my Haakaa bag becomes sticky, cloudy, or discoloured?
Silicone is an absorbent material and can absorb the colours and smells of substances it comes in contact with. Although your silicone products can go in the dishwasher, we recommend hand washing with hot, soapy water. To sterilise, we recommend boiling in water for 2-3 minutes or using a steam steriliser. We strongly recommend not using any bleach-based agents or sterilising tablets to clean your Haakaa products as it can affect the clarity of your product. Although your products might become cloudy after using detergent to wash them, silicone does not leach and it is still completely safe to use. If you are still concerned, you can sterilise your pump again by boiling in water, just to be safe! Some mums have said that boiling the pump in water with a touch of white vinegar can help improve the clarity of the pump, so you may wish to give this a go. Sometimes silicone can act like a magnet as well and can attract its surroundings or absorb smells, colours etc.
