IS IT SAFE? Sterilisation & storage

[startingagainafter14years]

Hi.

Can anyone give me advice on the correct way to store bottles and teats that have been sterilised?
I've tried leaving it in the steriliser but the humidity starts to cause the beginning of some sort of mould so I really don't trust leaving it there.

Is it safe to sterilise it then store it somewhere , perhaps in a large tupperware, or should I only sterilise what I will be using straight away?

I mix fed but didn't sterilise any of my bottle stuff. Certainly never worried about 'storing' the items after washing.

I washed it really thouroughly in really really hot soapy water with a brush, rinsed in scalding water, drained.

If you use a dishwasher the water in there i sso hot its as good as sterilising I believe.

You don't need to store them that long, its not like they will go mouldy in a cupboard...
