Boots steam steriliser

[Susiemj]

Does anyone have one?

I want to know how to descale it as it says I have to. I have the descaler that came with it but there are no instructions on it or in the box. Can anyone help?

what sort of descaler is it - is it citric acid or something else? This is from the avent website (if that is any help):

1. Mix one of the enclosed sachets of citric acid (10gms) with 200ml of water. Pour into the empty steriliser. Do not put lid on. Switch on for 1-2 minutes. Switch off at mains and leave to stand for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse out the steriliser. Run a full cycle empty with the lid on, using exactly 90ml of water. Wipe out the steriliser. (Citric Acid is available from most chemists - avoid contact with eyes as this may cause irritation. Keep out of reach of children.) OR:

1. Pour 100ml vinegar mixed with 200ml cold water into steriliser. Allow to stand in the unit until any lime scale has dissolved. Empty the unit and rinse thoroughly.

i'm not sure - i'll have a look ....

damn. dh done the tidying - can't find it....

it's lactic acid - it's in solution form.

anyone know?

my mothercare lactic acid ones say this (it is a 40% lactic solution in a 10ml sachet):

*remove bottles, teats, etc from unit

*add 200mls to unit

*put lid on and run sterilising cycle for 5mins

*un-plug unit

*add contents of sachet to water

*allow to cool for at least 30mins

*pour liquid away and rinse thoroughly

*run on a normal cycle to make sure unit is clear and sterile

Thankyou! Very much.
