Product Information

Whether you’re new to parenting or not, taking care of a baby can bring all sorts of worries and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times, particularly in those early months. But when it comes to bottle feeding your bundle of joy, our comprehensive range of bottle sterilisersmeans you can at least have total peace of mind that their bottles are always clean, germ-free and completely safe. We have plenty of quality designs, which work by using hot steam to sterilise bottles so there’s no need for chemicals - and some of our options can even be used in the microwave. Versatility is something all parents come to appreciate, so consider our multi-purpose sterilisers which can also be used for things like breast pumpsand baby cutlery. Here’s a link to our How to Descale video which will give you some further guidance on how to do it. The Tommee Tippee Super-Steam has a simple design that looks unobtrusive and of good quality on the kitchen counter. The simplicity of the two buttons adds to the ‘clean’ aesthetic, and the frosted plastic means the mess of bottles and parts is hidden from view inside. In general, if you notice marks on the base of the machine, you should descale it to keep it working as it should.

If you haven’t been using a water softener, cleaning chemicals or sterilisation solutions, then it sounds like there may be or has been an excessive amount of limescale build-up, which has damaged the heat plate. If you haven’t already descaled your machine, it’s still worth doing this, as once the limescale is clear, you can see the extent of the holes (we call this pitting).The extra care is evident right from the beginning – an in-depth instruction manual includes pictures to help you through assembly and use, as well as descaling advice for different water compositions and instructions for safe disposal and recycling once you’re done with the product.

Don’t overfill the machine with too many products as this reduces how efficiently the steriliser works and it may not sterilise properly.Pour any remaining liquid down the sink and rinse with clean water. Use a sponge or cloth to remove any loose bits of limescale that there might be Yes - that’s pretty common! Just empty it out once you’re finished and you’re ready to start again. There are two simple options for you to choose from. You could use a specially designed descaling product which is suitable for an electric steam steriliser or you could use cleaning or food grade white/clear vinegar (ideally not the stuff you use on your chips!). If you choose a specialist product, it should come with instructions; if you choose vinegar, here’s what to do: Just reassemble as normal, but wash your hands thoroughly first, or use the teat tongs provided if you have them. The idea is to keep the bottle as clean and sterile as possible.

The Super-Steam comes in four parts – base, lower tray, upper tray and lid – which take less than a minute to put together. One five-minute pre-cycle is required before the steriliser can be used, but it won’t be long before you’re ready to go. Is the Tommee Tippee Super-Steam safe? Pour in 1 cup (250ml) of white vinegar and leave for between 30-mins and 24-hours, depending on the extent of limescaleThe wire to the plug is short, which does limit where the unit can be placed, but it also means that there are no trailing wires to trip over or for small fingers to pull on. Not the most budget-friendly electric steriliser we tested and a more expensive initial outlay than microwave or travel versions Clean your baby's bottles and protect their developing immune system with the help of our steam and UV sterilising units.
