Quick answer
Clean your Baby Brezza Steriliser Dryer Advanced weekly and descale it every 1–3 months using Baby Brezza Universal Descaling Tablets to remove limescale and keep it running efficiently.
Why regular descaling matters
Mineral deposits from tap water can build up inside your steriliser over time, reducing steam efficiency and potentially shortening the machine's life. The Baby Brezza Steriliser Dryer Advanced uses natural steam to kill 99.9% of germs, but limescale can block steam vents and heating elements.
Descaling every 1–3 months (more often in hard-water areas) keeps the steriliser working at full capacity. Baby Brezza Universal Descaling Tablets are non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and fragrance-free, making them safe for your baby's bottles and pump parts.
What you need
You will need: Baby Brezza Universal Descaling Tablets (a pack of 24), cool tap water, a soft cloth, and your steriliser's instruction manual. Do not use vinegar, lemon juice, or other household descaling agents, as they may damage the machine and leave residues.
Step-by-step cleaning and descaling process
- 1. Empty and unplug the steriliser: Remove any bottles, pump parts, or accessories. Unplug the unit and let it cool completely before cleaning. Never attempt to clean or descale a hot or plugged-in appliance.
- 2. Wipe down the interior and exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the inside walls, the heating plate, and the exterior. Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaners that could scratch the surface. Avoid getting water into the air vents or the control panel.
- 3. Prepare the descaling solution: Fill the water tank with cool tap water up to the MAX line. Drop one Baby Brezza Universal Descaling Tablet into the water and let it dissolve completely (about 2–3 minutes). Do not use more than one tablet per cycle — it will not improve results and may cause excess suds.
- 4. Run a descaling cycle: Plug the steriliser back in and run a full steam cycle (without any bottles inside). The tablet solution will circulate and break down limescale. If your model has a separate 'descaling' programme, select that; otherwise a standard steam cycle works. Check your manual.
- 5. Rinse thoroughly: After the cycle finishes, empty the water tank and rinse it with fresh water. Wipe the interior with a clean damp cloth to remove any remaining residue. Then run a full steam cycle with fresh water only (no tablet) to flush the system. Skipping the rinse cycle can leave a slight taste or residue on bottles.
- 6. Dry and reassemble: Leave the lid open and let the steriliser air-dry completely before using it again. Once dry, you can place bottles and accessories back inside. Storing the steriliser while still damp encourages mould growth — always dry it thoroughly.
