How to sterilize your pumps before the first use:
Prepare a clean pot of water and bring it to a low boil.
Disassemble parts and carefully immerse them into the pot, ensuring they don't touch the bottom.
Sterilize for 2-3 minutes maximum, ensuring vigilance throughout.
Here is a video demonstrating the best sterilizing practices.

Important: Avoid using sterilizers
As part of our cleaning guidelines, we advise against using sterilizers for Perifit breast pump parts. The steam in sterilizers is hotter than boiling water, which can damage the materials. If a sterilizer is used, this voids the warranty on these parts. We recommend hand-washing, boiling for no more than 3-5 minutes, or using a gentle dishwasher cycle as safer alternatives.
