I'm Currently Feeling:  | I wouldn't trust a dishwasher to get them clean enough. Think of all the scuzz you get stuck in there! I have the Avent microwave steam sterilizer. |

They were still safe to use - just turned opaque or went a dodgy colour. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | hand-wash then use the avent micro steraliser, which is a pain coz i now have dr brown bottles and have no room for the lids which i pop in a big jug and fill with boiling water..
when im up my sisters overnight i steralise in her dishwasher and my bottles have always come out great  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Bottles are fine in dishwasher as long as you clean it! Its a boil wash and steamed however the teats go an off colour which someone said but then OHs Mum did this and they came back orange  still soaking & sterilising though!
Someone suggested the cleaning dispenser things (was it you Tezzy) with the scrub brush at end - worst mistake! OH said "won't they scratch" I was like no others have said they do it as the pad is soft bu he was right they are scratched so thats my worst tip I've acted on (soz lol).
