How do I clean and sterilise milk powder dispensers?
Milk powder dispensers should be washed and sterilised just like your bottles. You can then either leave them to air dry, or use a clean piece of kitchen paper or a clean tea towel. The formula milk powder is not sterile, which is why we recommend making up feeds with freshly boiled water that has been allowed to cool for 30-minutes, or through using our innovative Perfect Prep Machine.

How do I descale my Closer to Nature Electric Bottle and Food Warmer?
We recommend carrying out the descaling process approximately every 4-weeks to ensure effective operation. If you notice limescale earlier than 4-weeks, descaling may be required sooner. Living in a hard water area can produce limescale quicker than other areas. You can find out your water quality via your water provider.
To de-scale your bottle warmer, use any suitable small household appliance de-scaling sachets, carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions on the pack.
