Frequently Asked Questions

Once per cycle, at the end of your period before storing. During the cycle, rinsing and washing with mild soap after each removal is sufficient. Sterilizing after every single use is not necessary and does not improve safety.
Yes, a dedicated clean pot is suitable. Many women prefer using a collapsible sterilizer cup to keep the process separate from general kitchen use and to prevent the cup from touching the hot pot base.
A mild, fragrance-free, pH-neutral soap. Avoid antibacterial soaps, scented soaps, oil-based cleaners, and anything not designed for sensitive use. When in doubt, a small amount of plain, unscented hand soap is acceptable.
Persistent odour usually means the silicone has absorbed residue from the wrong cleaning products, or that the cup has not been fully sterilized between cycles. Boil the cup fully for 5 minutes and allow to dry completely. If the odour persists, the silicone may have degraded and replacement is advisable.
Leave the lid slightly open, not fully sealed, during microwave sterilization. A sealed lid prevents steam from escaping, causes pressure build-up, and can result in the water overflowing or the lid popping off when hot.
Fill the cup with water, place your palm flat over the opening, and squeeze gently. The pressure forces water through the holes, clearing any blockage. A soft toothbrush kept specifically for this purpose can also clean the holes directly.
