Germ Proofing Your Home With Milton Hygiene Solutions

Germ Proofing your home with Milton Hygiene Solutions

Do you think Milton is just what your Granny used to sterilise baby bottles back in the day?
Well, think again! Milton have been producing hygiene solutions for baby and the home for decades and they remain a valid and cost-effective method of germ proofing your home and protecting your family. I’ve been recommending the cold-water sterilising system to clients for nearly 20 years because its so very convenient and simple. You just need a lidded container, cold water and some Milton sterilising tablets, submerge everything under the water and it’s sterile for 24 hours. Simples!

Milton also make a combination microwave and cold-water system for the best of both worlds and there’s even a travel-sized option for when you’re out and about or on your hols.

It’s not just for bottles and feeding equipment either, you can sterilise anything from pacifiers and teething rings to toys, cutlery and building blocks.

At this time of year, there are bugs a-plenty with colds and the flu virus doing their rounds, so if you have a new baby it can be a worrying and stressful time especially when friends and family visit. Would it be rude to ask everyone to wash their hands before they touch your precious newborn? Well, no it’s good advice and frankly, if anyone is offended? Well you just don’t need that negativity in your life right now do you! However, maybe it would be easier to just have some antibacterial gel on hand instead.

The workplace is a haven for germs too, think phones, door handles, computer keyboards etc. For surfaces there are wipes and sprays to ensure a bacteria free environment and if Sandra from Accounts has stoically turned up for work sneezing, coughing and spluttering everywhere, having a good old clean around could protect everyone from her nasty germs. Nice try Sandra!
