Just rinsing and boiling. Why soak in soapy water?

Posted by Beejenigma @beejenigma, Oct 12, 2025

I just rinse and boil for 11 minutes and then put in grownsy bottle sterilizer on auto setting which dries and uses UV. Why soak in soapy water first? And if so, boiled water? I do not change my distilled boil water every time. I change it about every 4 days. Seems fine. I keep it covered.

I just started using the Bololo. I run the cycle for 60 min and then additional drying for 40 min. In spite of that I find the Aerobika is not 100% dry. When I air dry it is 100% dry. I believe the unit is working fine.

@irenea8 That never happens with my Grownsy baby bottle sterilizer with UV. Are you disassembling the Aerobika first?

@irenea8 Uh oh. Seems that maybe your sterilizer does not have high enough temp. I love my Grownsy baby bottle sterilizer which has a very long dry and then a 15 minute UV. Maybe you need to contact the company?

@irenea8 I use Dr Brown's baby bottle sterilizer and found that it dries thoroughly provided I make sure to shake all excess water off the parts before putting them in sterilizer. Perhaps, that is what you need to do?
