How do I clean Youha breast pump parts?
It's simple! You disconnect the motor units and any tubing and pop them aside. Disassemble and rinse in cold water all of the silicone and plastic parts of the pump. Pop them in a separate washtub (not the sink) and wash gently in warm soapy water with a soft washcloth or silicone brush and rinse before sterilising. Allow to air dry completely before reassembly. The motor units should only be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
