The Milton sterilizing tablets will reliably kill pseudomonas, but NTM not reliably. NTM contain a protective covering also known as a biofilm, which makes them resistant to many disinfectants. The only reliable way to kill NTM is through high heat.
Can you find any baby bottles sterilizers in France? If not, then a small Ramen boiler is a good alternative. They’re very quick and have a small footprint.

@scoop would you mind sending a link for a small ramen boiler? I’m looking online, and can’t seem to find what you are referring to .

Pseudomonas (specifically Pseudomonas aeruginosa) is a textbook biofilm former. It forms protective, multi-layered communities encased in a self-produced extracellular matrix, making it notoriously resistant to antibiotics and the immune system.
