For drinking water you can add Milton (which is 1% chlorine), 12 mls to each 20 litres of water. This is safe to drink for normal healthy people. This is not quite as good as chlorine in killing "bugs", but is perfectly adequate in the UK and North America.
Question: How much water do you use per tablet? Answer: 5 litres but the tablet easily breaks into 4 so you can use half with 2.5 litres or a quarter in the Milton travel steriliser as its 1.25 litres.
Most patients tolerate Milton baths well. Occasionally, you may experience a mild discomfort on your skin. If this happens, empty the bath and immediately rinse off with warm water then apply your usual emollient and topical treatment.
We clean fruit and veg using Milton sterilising fluid. You need one cap or one tablet, diluted in five litres of water. Leave the fruit and veg submerged in the solution for 15 minutes, then rinse in clean water.
The expiration date is usually a safe date for the tablet when stored properly (temperature, moisture, sunlight, etc). That means you can probably go a few months past the date and not worry about anything.
Milton Sterilising Fluid, which retails for around £2 for 500ml in most leading supermarkets, is essentially a disinfectant which can be used all around the home, but is often used to sterilise breastfeeding equipment and baby feeding utensils.
Milton Antibacterial Surface Wipes and Spray can be used on highchairs, toys, changing mats and more.
Now you can relax! Everything in the solution will be ready to use after 15 minutes. If you'd like to use them later, you can leave it in the solution for up to 24 hours. You can also pop things in the solution again and again during the 24 hours, reusing the solution as many times as needed.
Milton cold water sterilising is a fast, effective and easy way to ensure your baby's equipment is safe. The fluid and tablets are added to cold water and are clinically proven to kill bacteria, fungi and viruses in just 15 minutes.
I sterilize by wine making stuff with milton, but my jam jars, I run them through the dishwasher, then just prior to filling, put them in the oven for 30 minutes at about 120 C. With the milton on the wine equipment, I rinse it off with freshly boiled, cooled water. Hope this is useful, Emma.
DON'T use milton fluid, it attacks the stainless steel and will leave small holes in the flask. Don't know about the sterilising tabs, but have always done OK with bicarb of soda and boiling water since destroying acouple of flasks with Milton Fluid.
Sanitizing is an extra step to kill more germs on items that have been cleaned. Sanitizing feeding items provides more protection against all infections. How often should bottles be cleaned? Bottles should be cleaned after every feeding.
Can I dry baby bottles after sterilisation? Thankfully, you can cross this off your to-do list. Any water left inside the bottles after sterilisation is sterile and won't collect germs so there's no need to dry. In fact wiping the inside of a bottle after sterilisation could even add germs, so it's best not to.
Milton sterilizing fluid is produced by Procter & Gamble for sterilization uses. It contains 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and 16.5% sodium chloride (NaCl; common salt). 1:80 dilution is used to sterilise babies' feeding utensils, including baby bottles.
To remove mould from ceilings and walls, make a weak solution of water and plain thin household chlorine bleach (scant 60ml per one litre of water) and scrub off the mould with a soft brush. Incidentally, if you have babies and therefore Milton sterilising fluid around the house, you can use Milton instead of bleach.
Summary: Yes, this product SHOULD be fine for brewing, but only if you rinse with sterile water after to ensure that no bleach is left on the gear. And its probably WAY more expensive than using plain bleach, or a proven brewing sanitizer.
