You can also use baby bottle steriliser tablets now and again to give a deep clean. The rubber bite valve can be removed to scrub for any gunk in the lid. A top tip is to leave your lids in the freezer between uses, this prevents any bacteria and gunk build up. You can put your bottles and lids in the dishwasher but the heat may affect the seal over time so we would recommend hand washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use energy powders in my soft bottles\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes!
